#s = 2#

Explanation:

#y = mx + b#

You already know the point #(3, 10)# and the slope #(m)# is equal to #6#. First, we solve for the #y#-intercept, #b#.

#y = mx + b#

#(10) = 6(3) + b#

#b = -8#

Now, we plug in the new point into the equation

#y = mx + b#

#(4) = 6(s) + (-8)#

#12 = 6s#

#2 = s#
