\huge \bf༆ Answer ༄

Let's use slope - point form of a line to find the equation ~


  • \sf{y} - y1 = m(x - x1)

use the coordinates of point (-1 , 3)


  • \sf{y - 3 = - ( 2)/(3) }(x - ( - 1))


  • \sf{y - 3} = - (2)/(3) (x + 1)


  • \sf{y = - (2)/(3) x} - (2)/(3) + 3


  • \sf{y = - (2)/(3)x } + (7)/(3)

therefore ~ C is the Correct choice !
