Answer: y=6x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation of the line, we want to find the slope with the formula [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex].
[tex]m=\frac{1-(-5)}{-1-(-2)} =\frac{6}{1}=6[/tex]
Now that we know th eslope, we can start to fill out the equation. To find the y-intercept, we can plug in a given point and solve.
y=6x+b
1=6(-1)+b [multiply]
1=-6+b [add both sides by 6]
b=7
Now, we know the equation is y=6x+7.
