Answer:

D.
y + 1 = -2(x - 2)

Explanation:

Point-slope form equation is given as
y - b = m(x - a), where,

(a, b) = a point of the graph.

m = slope of the graph

Find the slope of the graph:

Slope =
(rise)/(run) = (-4)/(2) = -2

Using the point (2, -1) and the slope, m, = -2, we can derive the equation in point-slope form by substituting a = 2, b = -1, and m = -2 into
y - b = m(x - a).

✅The equation would be:


y - (-1) = -2(x - 2)


y + 1 = -2(x - 2)
