Answer:

y = 2x + 11

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 2, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

To find c substitute (- 5, 1) into the partial equation

1 = - 10 + c ⇒ c = 1 + 10 = 11

y = 2x + 11 ← equation of line
