Answer:

The answer is C. y+5=3(x-3)

Explanation:

Point Slope Form is y - y1 = m (x-x1)

Since -5 is a negative, it becomes a + when y is subtracted by it, so y+5. 3 then converts x-3!

Answer:


\large\boxed{C.\ y+5=-3(x-3)}

Explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We have the point:


(3,\ -5)\to x_1=3,\ y_1=-5

Substitute:


y-(-5)=m(x-3)\\\\y+5=m(x-3)
