#y=3x-11# is the equation of a line in slope-intercept form.
From this we can deduce that the slope is #m=3#

Any line parallel to #y=3x-11# will also have a slope of #m=3#

Slope-point form of a line is
#(y-y_1) = m(x-x_1)#
and given the point #(x_1,y_1) = (9,6)#

The slope-point form of the required line is
#y-6=3(x-9)#
