What is the equation of the line that passes through the points -3 -1 and has the slope of -2?

To find the equation of the line passing through the point (-3, -1) with a slope of -2, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line, which is (y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)). Substituting the point (-3, -1) and the slope (-2) into the formula, we get:

[y - (-1) = -2(x - (-3))]

This simplifies to:

[y + 1 = -2(x + 3)]

Further simplifying gives the equation:

[y = -2x - 7].
