You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y+=+mx%2Bb

-1+=+%281%29%283%29%2Bb

-1+=+3%2Bb

-1-3+=+b

-4+=+b

b+=+-4

So the equation of the line is y+=+x-4


Graph:

+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-5%2C+15%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+0%2Cx-4%29+

Let me know if you need more help or if you need me to explain a step in more detail.
