Answer:


\large\boxed{y+1=3(x-1)}\\\\\boxed{y=3x-4}

Explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

(x₁, y₁) - a point on a line

We have


m=3,\ (1,\ -1)\to x_1=1,\ y_1=-1

Substitute:


y-(-1)=3(x-1)\\\\\boxed{y+1=3(x-1)}

Convert to the slope-intercept form


y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept


y+1=3(x-1) use the distributive property


y+1=3x-3 subtract 1 from both sides


\boxed{y=3x-4}
