Answer:

y =3x + 5

Explanation:

The slope intercept form of an equation is expressed as;

y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the intercept

Get the intercept

Substitute m = 3 and (-2,-1) into y = mx+c

-1 = 3(-2)+c

-1 = -6 + c

c = -1+6

c = 5

Get the equation.

Recall that y = mx+c

y =3x + 5

This gives the required equation
