First, we must find the y-intercept of the line given the slope and a point on the line and pluging it into slope-intercept form*.

$1 = 2(3) + b\\\\1 = 6 + b\\\\-5 = b$

Now that we have the y-intercept, we can create the equation of this line.

y = 2x - 5

*Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b ← y-intercept
