Answer: y=3x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

(2,2) and (-1,3) lie on the given line, so its slope is [tex]\frac{3-2}{-1-2}=-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Since perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, the slope of the given line is 3.

Substituting into point slope form,

[tex]y+1=3(x-2)\\y+1=3x-6\\\boxed{y=3x-7}[/tex]
