The given point to us is (3,-1) and the slope of the line is 2 . We can use the point slope form of the line as ,

$\sf\longrightarrow m ( x - x_1) = y - y_1$

Substitute the values ,

$\sf\longrightarrow 2( x - 3 ) = y - (-1)$

Simplify LHS and RHS ,

$\sf\longrightarrow 2x - 6 = y +1$

Put all terms on one side ,

$\sf\longrightarrow \boxed{\bf 2x - y -7=0}$
