Answer 1

Point slope form is:
$\sf {y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)}$

Where $\sf{(x_1,y_1)}$ is the point and $\sf{m}$ is the slope.

So from your question:

$\sf{ x_1 = 6}$
$\sf{y_1 = -8}$
 $\sf{m = -2}$

Plug them into the equation for point slope form:

$\sf {y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)}$

Becomes when you plug it in:

$\sf{y-(-8) = -2(x - 6)}$

And when you subtract a negative that becomes addition so:

$\sf{y+ 8 = -2(x - 6)}$

And that would correlate to answer choice $\sf{\boxed{B}}$

Answer 2

Y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where 'y1' is the y-value of the point, 'x1' is the x-value of the point, and 'm' is the slope.

So in this case:

y1 = -8
x1 = 6
m = -2

Plug them in:

y - (-8) = -2(x - 6)

or

y + 8 = -2(x - 6)
