Change of Variables & the Jacobian · Medium problem

The transformation x=3u−vx = 3u - v, y=−6u+2vy = -6u + 2v has Jacobian 00 at every point (u,v)(u,v). Every point of the uvuv-plane is therefore squashed onto a single line through the origin in the xyxy-plane. Find the equation of that line, in the form y=mxy = mx.
