Help with graphing linear equations...?

In Algebra I, I'm learning about graphing linear equations. I recently got back a graded paper where the teacher said my answer was correct but incomplete... but I can't figure out what I'm missing! Could anyone point me in the right direction?

The question was about what happens to the graph of the line y = 2x - 5 when the equation is changed to y = 5x + 6. I put that the slope becomes steeper and it crosses the y-axis 11 units higher.

    Personally I would have drawn the graph of this as well. Not quite sure what else they could have been other than if they wanted the intercept of the 2 linear lines?
