Choice A is the correct answer. Read directly from point-slope form.

1. Form: $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$.
2. Match: $m = 3$, $x_1 = 2$, $y_1 = -1$ (since $y - (-1) = y+1$).
3. Result: Slope 3, Point $(2, -1)$.

💡 Strategic Tip: Flip the signs of the numbers inside the equation to get the point coordinates.

Choice B is incorrect because it flips the signs incorrectly. Choice C is incorrect because it confuses variables. Choice D is incorrect because it flips the x-sign incorrectly.
