Answer:

-2x + y = -1.

Explanation:

The slope of the line = rise / run

= (11-9) / (6-5) = 2.

The point-slope form of the line is

y - y1 = 2(x - x1) where (x1, y1) is a point on the line so we have:

y - 11 = 2(x - 6) ( using the point (6, 11)

y = 2x - 12 + 11

y = 2x - 1

Convert to standard form:

-2x + y = -1.
