You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The formula for this problem is

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Where it says y1, plug in your y value, where it says x1 plug in your x value....
Of course you get the y and x values from your ordered pair (x,y). In this case your ordered pair is (3,2). So x = 3, and y = 2.
So,
y - 2 = 1(x - 3)
y = (x-3) + 2
y = x - 1
