if you're looking for an answer in ax²+bx+c, the answer is 14x-11. If that's what you need, tell me and I'll explain.

take any two points, subtract the y values and divide it by the difference in the respective x values

(y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)

let's say I use points (0,-11) and (2,17)

I would just plug in the values

(-11 - 17) / (0 - 2)

simplify, and you get 14 (-28/-2 = 14)

note that you could interchange the two points, just make sure that the x and y values are respective of each other

(y1 -y2 )/(x1-x2) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) will solve the question similarly

but

(y1 - y2) / (x2 -x1) will not get you the right answer
