Answer:

y=3x-13

Explanation:

First, write your equation: y=3x+b. Plug in your ordered pair to the equation, it should look like this: 2=3(5)+b. 3 times 5 equals 15. This is what your equation should look like: 2=15+b. Subtract 15 from both sides to get -13 as your y-intercept. Go back to your original equation and plug in -13 to b. This is your final equation: y=3x-13. Hope this helped!
