Answer:
b. y + 5 = -2(x + 3) or
y = - 2x - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Point-slope equation:
- y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where m- slope, (x₁, y₁) - the point on the line
Given
- m = - 2,
- x₁ = - 3,
- y₁ = - 5
Substitute these into point-slope equation
- y - (-5) = -2(x - (-3))
- y + 5 = -2(x + 3)
Convert this to slope-intercept form:
- y = - 2x - 6 - 5
- y = - 2x - 11
Correct choice is b.
