Answer: B. y = 3x - 26

Explanation:

The equation of line in slope - intercept form is given as :

y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept.

To write the given equation in this form , all we need do is to make y the subject of the formula.

y - 7 = 3 ( x - 11 )

y - 7 = 3x - 33

add 7 to both sides

y = 3x - 33 + 7

y = 3x -26
