The expression for the inequality is:


8-5(x+2)<-5

We need to find which line represents this inequality. To do that we will use the left side of the inequality and rewrite it as a slope-intercept form. Which is done below:


\begin{gathered} y(x)=8-5(x+2) \\ y(x)=8-5x-10 \\ y(x)=-5x-2 \end{gathered}

The line for this inequality is "-5x -2". Where the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is -2. We can graph it as shown below:
