Answer:

option A.
y+4=-3(x-3)

Explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line into slope point form is equal to


y-y1=m(x-x1)

The point is (3,-4)

so substitute


y+4=m(x-3)

The slope of the line of the graph is negative

calculate the slope

(0,5) and (3,-4)


m=(-4-5)/(3-0)=-3

substitute


y+4=-3(x-3)
