Answer:

A. y+6 = -3(x-2)

Explanation:

The slope point formula is:

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

Our slope is negative 3, and our coordinates given are 2 and -6.

Substitute -3 for m, -6 for y₁, and 2 for x₁

y - (-6) = -3 (x - 2)

Negative and negative multiplied together make postive

A. y+6 = -3 (x-2)
