Answer:

y = -1 + 5(x-1)

Explanation:

The equation for the slope is simply y2-y1 = m(x2-x1).

y1 = -1 , x1 = 1 , m = 5

Now the new equation can be written as

y+1 = 5(x-1) => y = -1 + 5(x-1)

Good evening ,

Answer:

D: y = 5x - 6.

Explanation:

let D be a line and y=my+p its equation

D has a slope of 5 means m=5

then y=5x+p

D pass through (1,-1) means -1=5(1)+p then p=-1-5=-6

then D: y = 5x - 6.

look at the photo below for more details.
