Answer:

y = -3x + 8

Explanation:

The equation of the line in point slope form is expressed as;

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

m is the slope

m = 14+1/-2-3

m = 15/-5

m = -3

Substitute the point (3, -1) and m = -3 into the formula

y + 1 = -3(x-3)

y+1 = -3x + 9

y = -3x+9-1

y = -3x + 8

Hence the required equation of the line is y = -3x + 8
