Which is the equation of the line with slope 3 that contains point (-1, 5)?

y – 5 = 3(x + 1)
y – 1 = 3(x + 5)
y – 5 = 3(x - 1)
y – 1 = 3(x – 5)

It's  y-5=3(x+1).  Thus the standard form becomes y=3x+8. Cutie. :)

can you please explain your answer

I used the slope-point form equation (y-y1=m(x-x1)) I slotted in the point and the slope values and solved for Y.
