Answer:


y - 35 = 6(x - 5)

Explanation:

The point-slope equation of a line is


y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) ,

where


m = slope = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

and the point is


(x_1, y_1)

Let's find the slope.


m = slope = (-31 - 35)/(-6 - 5)


m = (-66)/(-11)


m = 6

We are asked to use the first point in the equation, so


x_1 = 5 and
y_1 = 35

The equation is:


y - 35 = 6(x - 5)
