.

y - (-2) = 3x,

or, equivalently,

y + 2 = 3x.


            OR  ANY  OTHER  EQUIVALENT  FORM.


---------------

It is very elementary and basic skill that every student must develop to the level to solve such problems on his  (or her)
own  AUTOMATICALLY  without asking assistance from outside.

    Similar to as you answer  "4"   when you are asked  "How many is  2*2  ?".

To help you to develop such skills,  the special lesson was created in this site

    - Equation for a straight line having a given slope and passing through a given point

Find there a complete explanation on how to do it and learn the subject once and for all.

Hi
***Using point-slope form, y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+highlight_green%28m%29%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29
 P(0, -2)
y - (-2) = 3(x-0)
    y + 2 = 3x
   y = 3x - 2  in Slope Intercept Form 

 Standard Form:  y - 3x = -2 
Wish You the Best in your Studies.

slope of 3 and passes through point (0, -2)
If it's the equation you're looking for - you didn't include a question - then use the linear form of an equation, which is: or y = mx + b.
m, or the slope is given as 3, and the y-intercept from the point (0, - 2) is - 2. Therefore, we get the equation: highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+y%2C+%22=%22%2C+3x+-+2%29%29
