Answer:

y -3 = -2(x +2)

Explanation:

You want the point-slope equation of the graphed line through point (-2, 3).

Point-slope equation

The point-slope equation of the line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

y -k = m(x -h)

Slope

The line on the graph goes down 2 units for each 1 unit to the right. Its slope is ...

slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2

Equation

The equation for the line with slope -2 through point (-2, 3) is ...

y -3 = -2(x +2)
