(0,6) & (3,0)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (0-6)/(3-0)

m = -6/3

m = -2

Substitute the values in y = mx + c

0 = -2(6) + c

c = 12

Thus, the equation is y = -2x + 12

Answer:

y=2x-6

Explanation:

You can plug this into the slope formula, x-intercept of 3 would be (3,0)

and y intercept of -6 would be (0,-6).

Find the slope using the slope formula. The slope is 2

We are given a y-intercept of -6

therefore, the answer is y=2x-6
