Answer: Choice A

y + 1 = -3(x+2)

=============================

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look through the answer choices.

Choices C and D show that the point (2,1) is on the line. But the graph does not show this. So we can rule out choices C and D.

With choice A, the slope is negative and choice B has a positive slope.

The answer must be choice A because the line is going downhill as we move from left to right.

--------------

A common method is to pick two points on the line and compute the slope using the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Once you know the slope, you would use point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
