Answer: y = 11 x - 67 OR y + 1 = 11 (x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the Equation

We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line; where m = 11:

⇒ y - (-1) = 11 (x - 6)

y + 1 = 11 (x - 6)

we could also transform this into the slope-intercept form ( y = mx + c)

since y + 1 = 11 (x - 6)

⇒ y = 11 x - 67

To test my answer, I have included a Desmos Graph that I graphed using the information provided in the question and my answer.
