Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula

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

y2 = x

y1 = -5

x2 = 6

x1 = 1

m = 2

Solution

2 = (x - - 5)/(6 - 1)

2 = (x + 5)/ 5                   Multiply both sides of the equation by 5

5*2 = 5(x + 5)/5              Simplify

10 = x + 5                         Subtract 5 from both sides

10-5 = x

x = 5
