Answer:

y = 3x+3

Explanation:

We know the y intercept since it crosses the y axis at (0,3) and we know the x intercept since it crosses the x axis at (-1,0)

We can fidn the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (0,3) (-1,0)

=(0-3)/(-1-0)

= -3/-1

=3

The equation for the line is in the form

y = mx +b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 3x+3
