ANSWER :

The answer is b. y = -3x + 10

EXPLANATION :

The point-slope formula is :


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where m = slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

From the problem, the slope is m = -3 and the point is (4, -2)

Using the formula above :


\begin{gathered} y-(-2)=-3(x-4) \\ y+2=-3x+12 \\ y=-3x+12-2 \\ y=-3x+10 \end{gathered}
