Answer:

y -4 = -2(x -(-11))

Explanation:

The point slope formula is ...

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

__

So, the boxes in order from left to right are k, m, h.

The problem statement tells you the point is (-11, 4), so h = -11, k = 4. It also tells you the slope is -2, so m = -2.

Putting these numbers in the required order, we have k = 4, m = -2, h = -11 and the equation of the line is ...


y-\boxed{4}=\boxed{-2}(x-\boxed{-11})
