Answer:

B

Explanation:

Start with the equation y=mx+b

Now we can fill in the numbers given the equation

The slope is 2 so if we plug that in, we get y=2x+b

B represents the y intercept so we have to use the y coordinate

-5 is the y coordinate so if we plug that into the equation we get y=2x-5

This gives you your final answer which is B
