Tori, this is the solution to the exercise:

Step 1: Let's remember that this is a case that we can solve using the following equation form:

y = mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Step 2: Solving for b:

y = mx + b

We replace x and y with the coordinates:

1 = 3 * 2 + b

1 = 6 + b

b = 1 - 6

b = - 5

Step 3: Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the point (2,1) with a slope of 3 is:

y = 3x - 5
