Answer:

y = 11x - 23

Explanation:

the general form of the equation of the line is:

y = mx + b

where:

slope, m = 11

x, y co-ordinates are 2, -1

substituting the values in the equation to find the constant b:

-1 = 11(2) + b

-1 = 22 + b

b = -1 - 22 = - 23

thus, the equation of the line is:

y = 11x - 23
