Answer:

y=2 x+15

Explanation:

Given the slope of a line and a point it passes through, we can use the point-slope formula to determine the equation of the line.

m = (y1-y2) / (x1-x2)

2 = (y-11) / (x- (-2)) = (y-11) / (x+2)

Multiply both sides by (x+2) give 2(x+2) = y-11

2x+4 = y-11

2x+4+11 = y

2x+15 = y
