Answer:
(c) y = 3x +2
Step-by-step explanation:
The second given point is the y-intercept, telling you that the 'b' in the equation y = mx +b is 2. This eliminates the first and last choices.
Trying the other point in the two remaining equations shows you which one works:
(b) y = -3x +2
-1 = -3(-1) +2 . . . . not true
(c) y = 3x +2
-1 = 3(-1) +2 . . . . true
The equation of the line through the two points is ...
y = 3x +2
_____
Additional comment
If you plot the two points, you see the line connecting them must have a positive slope. Only the third choice has a positive slope and a y-intercept of 2.
