Answer:

$\large\boxed{B.\ y-3=-5(x-6)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

m - slope

(x₁, y₁) - point

We have the slope m = -5 and the point (6, 3). Substitute:

$y-3=-5(x-6)$

Answer:

(y + 5) = -7(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point Slope Form: (y - y1) = m(x - x1)

Step 1: Find Slope

m = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

m = $\frac{-19 - (-5)}{-1 - (-3)}$

m = $\frac{-19 + 5}{-1 + 3}$

m = $\frac{-14}{2}$

m = -7

Step 2: Put into point slope form

Point Slope Form: (y - y1) = m(x - x1)

(y - (-5)) = -7(x - (-3))

(y + 5) = -7(x + 3)
