The Slope-Intercept form of the equation of a line is:


y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

In this case you have this equation of the line in Point-Slope form:


y-2=3\mleft(x-1\mright)

Then, in order to write it in Slope-Intercept form, you must solve for the variable "y". So you get:


\begin{gathered} y-2=(3)(x)-(1)(3) \\ y-2=3x-3 \\ y=3x-3+2 \\ y=3x-1 \end{gathered}

The answer is:


y=3x-1
