\text{Given that,}\\\\(x_1,y_1)=(3,1) ~ \text{and slope, m=2}\\\\\text{The equation,}\\\\y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\\\\implies y -1 = 2(x -3) \\\\\implies y = 2(x-3) +1 \\\\\implies y =2x-6 +1\\\\\implies y =2x -5

Answer:

y-1=2(x-3)

Explanation:

Point slope form is
y-y_(1) =m(x-x_(1) ). m = the slope.
1=y_(1) and
3=x_(1) now you plug it in. y-1=2(x-3).
