Do you already know this? Why is that given equation "point-slope form"? You know definition for slope, so that should tell you everything.

LOOK!
m for slope;
two given points for a line, (x,y) and (p,v).
m=%28y-v%29%2F%28x-p%29

Thank you very much.
Point-slope form: y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29

Compare to:       y - 3 = 3(x + 1)

You should see that:  

Thus, matrix%281%2C6%2C+y+=+3%2C+%22%2C%22%2C+m+=+3%2C+%22%2C%22%2C+and%2C+x+=+-+1%29

Slope = m = 3, and point this line passes through is: (x, y), or (- 1, 3)
