Given:
(1,6) and (2,1)

I'll solve each equation with the corresponding x-values and see if it produces the correct y-values.

A) y = -5x + 11
y = -5(1) + 11 = -5 + 11 = 6
y = -5(2) + 11 = -10 + 11 = 1

Based on my first computation... Choice A. is the equation of a line that passes through the given points.
