Answer

$y = 2x - 6$

Work Step by Step

The equation of the line is $y = mx + b$, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. Look for the y-intercept of the graph. This is where the line cuts the y-axis. When you look at the graph, you see that $-6$ is the y-intercept. This is the equation so far. $y = mx -6$ Now, plug in a random point on the line. We will use $(3,0)$ $0 = 3m - 6$ $3m = 6$ $m = 2$ We have got the slope of the line, and now, we can complete the equation. $y = 2x - 6$
