You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your equation is in the point-slope form and shows you the slope is 2 and that one of the points on the line is (-3,1). You are also given a point (1,0), meaning that (not clear from the description) it too is on the line.

Is the given point (1,0) on the line?
y-1=2%28x%2B3%29
0-1=2%281%2B3%29
-1=8----FALSE.

What do you really want with this exercise?


The equation's known point (-3,1) and slope 2 give you enough to graph the line given:
