the answer to this is y = 3x - 2.

In the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, b is your y-intercept and in this problem, it will be -2. M is the slope which is 3.

Answer: y = 3x - 2

Explanation:

Equation of a straight line is

y=mx + c

m is the slope and c is the intercept

comparing it with the equation

y=3x - 2

m = slope =3

and c= intercept= -2
