You can put this solution on YOUR website! any line can be represented by a linear eqn
y = mx +c where m is the slope of the line and c the y- intercept
since its given that (3,1) are points on this line therefore we have
1 = -2.3 + c (slope is given to be -2)
c= 7
substituting the value of m and c in the general eqn of line y=mx +c we have
y = -2x + 7
