First, we want to find the slope. To do this we use the equation y2-y1 / x2-x1. For the problem, we use the points (-1,3) and (0,1). This would look like: 3-0/1--1. This would simplify to 3/2. To find the y-intercept, find the point (0, y). In this problem, that point would be (0,1). Now you can plug this into y = mx+b. Therefore, your equation is y = 3/2x + 1.
