Using the slope-intercept form of a line, the equation can be generated
y = mx + b

m = 2
and we can solve for b by substituting the given coordinates where the line passes through
3 = 2(-1) + b
b = 5

So, the equation of the line is
y = 2x + 5

Trying the options using the equation, the answer is
d. (0,5)
