Answer: y = 3x - 1, y + 1 = 3(x - 0), and -3x + y = - 1

Explanation:

We will write three different equations for this line. Note that the line intersects the y-axis at (0, -1) and has a slope of 3.

The first will be written in slope-intercept form. This takes the slope and the y-intercept in y = mx + b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y = mx + b

y = 3x - 1

Next, we will write a point-slope form equation. This is in the form y - y1 = m(x - x1) where (x1, y1) is a coordinate point on the graph and m is the slope.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 1 = 3(x - 0)

The last equation we will write is a standard-form equation. This is, put simply, slope-intercept form but instead of y being isolated, the constant is. A and B are coefficients, C is the constant, and x and y are variables.

Ax + By = C

-3x + y = - 1
