Answer:

B

Explanation:

First create the equation that has slope of -1 in the form of y=mx+b. Because the slope is -1, m=-1, so the equation is y=-x+b. Now we see that we are given the point (-3, 8) as an intersection point. Substitute x and y for -3 and 8 in our equation. With this information, our equation becomes 8=3+b. Solving, b=5. Our equation is now y=-x+5.

Simplifying all of the answer choices, we have

A. y=-x-5

B. y=-x+5

C. y=-x-5

D. and E. as what they already show

The only answer that matches is B.
