Answer:

B. y = 11x - 7

Explanation:

first we find the slope by using the formula


m = (y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

Now let (2,15) be
(x_(1), y_(1) ) , and (3, 26) be
(x_(2) , y_(2) ). So now the slope is equal too.....


m = (y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )= (26 - 15)/(3-2) = (11)/(1) = 11

Now we use the slope-point form of the equation and obtain the following....


y - y_(1) = m(x - x_(1) )\\y - 15 = 11(x - 2)\\y - 15= 11x -22\\y = 11x - 22 + 15\\y = 11x - 7
