Because the straight line is to have a slope of 3, its equation can be written as

y=3x+m

where m is a constant. If the line is also to pass through the point (x,y) = (1,-2), the point must satisfy the equation of the line,

2=31+m

which gives that m=1.

The answer is thus that the equation of the line is y=3x+1.
