Answer:

y = 3x -3

Explanation:

Find the slope first

Givens

y2 = 3

y1 = - 3

x2 = 3

x1 = 1

Equation

m= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Solution

m = (3 - - 3) / (3 - 1)

m = (3 + 3) / 2

m = 3

Find the y intercept next

Use either point to find the y intercept

y = 3x + b

x = 3

y = 3

y = 3*3 + b

3 = 6 + b

-3 = b

Answer

y = 3x - 3
