Answer:
3x - y = - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
Here m = 3 and (a, b) = (- 2, 1) , thus
y - 1 = 3(x + 2) ← distribute
y - 1 = 3x + 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
y - 7 = 3x ( subtract y from both sides )
- 7 = 3x - y, that is
3x - y = - 7 ← in standard form
