Answer:

<h2>Check out the image.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the equation of the straight line is y = mx + c; where m is the slope of the equation and c is the constant.

The line has the slope 1.

Hence, the equation becomes y = x + c.

Since, the line passes through (-6, -2), -2 = -6 + c or, c = 4.

Hence, the equation of the straight line becomes y = x + 4.

Putting x = 0, we get, y = 4.

The line passes through (0, 4).
