Answer:

y = 11x - 55

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line that passes through the point (x1, y1) and has a slope of m is equal to:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Then, we can replace (x1, y1) by (5, 0) and m by 11, to get:


y-0=11(x-5)

So, solving for y, we get:


\begin{gathered} y=11(x)-11(5) \\ y=11x-55 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is y = 11x - 55
