Given:

The slope of the line is 3.

The line passes through the point (2,-1).

To find:

The equation of the line.

Solution:

Point slope form of a line: If a line passes through the point [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] with slope m, then the equation of the line is

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

The line passes through the point (2,-1) with slope 3. So, the equation of the line is

[tex]y-(-1)=3(x-2)[/tex]

[tex]y+1=3(x-2)[/tex]

Therefore, the required equation is [tex]y+1=3(x-2)[/tex]. Hence, all the options are incorrect.
