Answer:

B

Explanation:

The answer is B because for the slope of the first part of the equation, it's 2/3 up 2 over 3. The starting point for that part of the equation is -2, so that's where your starting point is. For the second part of the equation, your starting point is on 1, and the slope is -5, so moving to the right 1 and down 5.
