Answer:

y + 2 = -9(x + 3) and y - 7 = 5(x + 1)

Explanation:


\text{Point-Slope form is:}\\\\y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\\text{m - slope}\\\\(x_1,y_1) \text{ - a point}

----------------------------------------


\text{Options A and B are written in point-slope form.}\\\\\\y+2 =-9(x+3)\\\\\text{The slope is -9 and the point used is (-3, -2).}\\\\\\y-7=5(x+1)\\\\\text{The slope is 5 and the point used is (-1, 7).}

-----------------------------------------


\text{Option C is written in Standard Form.}\\\\Ax+By=C\\\\\\\text{Option D is written in Slope-Intercept Form.}\\\\y=mx+b\\\\\text {m - slope}\\\\\text{b - y-intercept}

Hope this helps.
