B y-3=5(x+1)

Point slope is y-y1=m(x-x1)
Set up the equation
Y-3=5(x-(-1))
A negative and a negative is a positive
Equation is y-3=5(x+1)

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = 5 and (a, b) = (- 1, 3), thus

y - 3 = 5(x - (- 1)), that is

y - 3 = 5(x + 1) → B
