Find the equation of the line that has a slope of 3 and passes through (-1, 2)

y = 3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

start with the linear equation formula

y = mx+b

indentify what you already have.

x = - 1 and y = 2 and m (slope) = 3

We are solving for b, so plug in what you have.

2 = 3 (-1) + b

Simplify.

2 = - 3+b

Add 3 on both sides.

5 = b

Rewrite your equation with the x and y values.

y = 3x+5
