Write the point-slope equation of the line that passes through (3, -1) and a slope of 2.
----------
Use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where m=slope, (x1,y1) is the point.

The point slope form is +y-y%5B0%5D+=+m%28x-x%5B0%5D%29+
where
( +x%5B0%5D+ , +y%5B0%5D+ ) is a point on the line and
and m is the slope
You should now be able to plug in the values given to you, no?
