Answer:

y = 2x - 23

The slope is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m)

m = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-11-(-9)}{6 - 7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-2}{-1}[/tex] = 2

y = mx + b

y = 2x + b

(7, -9)

y = 2x + b

-9 = 2(7) + b

-9 = 14 + b

-14  -14

-23 = b

y = 2x - 23

Hope this helps!
