Answer:

6x - 11y = -13 is the answer.

Explanation:

Let's plug in the points to see what sticks.

Start with (-4, -1)

1) 11x - 6y = 11(-4) - 6(-1) = -44 + 6 = -38
\\eq 13

2) 6x - 11y = 6(-4) - 11(-1) = -24 + 11 = -13

3) 6x - 7y = 6(-4) - 7(-1) = -24 + 7 = -17
\\eq 17

4) 6x - 11y = 6(-4) - 11(-1) = -24 + 11 = -13
\\eq 13

The only one that fits is #2. Let's try the other point to be sure.

2) 6x - 11y = 6(1.5) - 11(2) = 9 - 22 = -13
