The given graph is a straight line passing through points (-4, -3) and (1, 5)
Equation in point slope form is y + 3 = (5 - (-3))/(1 - (-4)) (x - (-4))
y + 3 = 8/5(x + 4)
y + 3 = 8/5x + 32/5
y = 8/5x + 32/5 - 3
y = 8/5x + 17/5

Multiplying through by 5 gives
5y = 8x + 17
-8x + 5y = 17
Options B and C are the correct answers.
