point (3,1) , , a slope
multiply by 5
multiply by (-1)
the standard form

I think you need to use Point-slope form to answer this question which states that equation of a line through the points (x1, y1) and slope m is given by
y-y1 = m (x-x1)
Here you are given m & (x1,y1) in the question, so substituting values in the above formulae..
y-1 = (2/5) (x-3)
Multiplying both sides by 5 results in
5(y-1) = 2(x-3)
Further simplification leads to
5y-5=2x-6
5y = 2x-6+5
5y = 2x-1
Dividing both sides by 5
y= 2x/5 -1/5
