Well since the line is headed to the left side, you know it has a negative slope, so B and C can be crossed out. Then, you know that point-slope form is written as y - y1 = m (x - x1)

So, you just plug in the numbers given on the graph, (4,-2)

You should come out with y + 2 = -2 (x - 4)

And that's the equation of the line in point-slope form!!! :)

Hope it helped and you understand it better!
