I am going to graph the situation on an external graphing utility and show you the answer, it will take a

minute, stay with me.

$m\text{ = }\frac{rise\text{ }}{\text{run}}=\frac{change\text{ in y}}{\text{change in x}}=\frac{3}{1}=3$ $y\text{ = mx+b}\rightarrow\text{ b =-1}$

So the equation of the line is.

$y\text{ =3x -1}$ $y\text{ -1 = m(3-0)}$
