Answer:

B

Explanation:

So wiggly, remember that slope is change in y/change in x, or in simpler terms, y/x. Thinking of this, y/x must simplyfy to -3. Or, you can think of it as -3/1.

So know that we have rewrote this as a slope of -3/1, lets use it. Where do we start? Well, we must start at point A, which is at 2 x and 7 y.

Now, going to the RIGHT(+1x) and going DOWN(-3y) we will go from 2x and 7y to 3x and 4y.

Are we on a point yet? Nope, lets do this again.

Now going to RIGHT again(+1x) and going DOWN again(-3y) we will go from 13x and 4y to 4x and 1y.

Are we on a point yet? Still no, lets try this one more time.

Now going to RIGHT again(+1x) and going DOWN again(-3y) we will go from 4x and 1y to 5x and -2y.

Are we on a point? YUP. We cna see that point B is at 5x and -2y.

Hope you get it right ;)
