Answer:

y = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 3 , thus

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = 3 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 3 = - 5

y = 3x - 5 ← equation of line
