Hi, I was doing a problem to review for my semester exam in geometry, and I came across a problem that didn't make sense. I know
what the answer is now (it's B), but I was unsure between options A, B, and D. I would appreciate it if someone helps.

The equation of a line with slope m passing through a point P(a, b) is given by
(y-b)=m(x-a).
We can consider any of the points (-1, 7), or (2, 10). Let's choose (2, 10):
y-10=1(x-2)
y-10=x-2
y-x=-2+10
y-x=8
