we have the equation

y-5=-2(x+1)

Remember that the equation of the line in point slope form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

where

m is the slope

(x1,y1) is the given point

Part a) the slope m of the line is m=-2

Part b) the point is (-1,5)

Part c) Convert to slope intercept form

y=mx+b

isolate the variable y

y-5=-2x-2

y=-2x-2+5

y=-2x+3
