First you'd work around the parenthesis, getting you a reduced problem of -2x-6-5.
combine like terms to receive -2x-11
now treat the f(x) as Y and you'll get y=-2x-11; toss it onto a graph and plot the individual points (your answer options)
all points except for A do not touch the line, resulting in your answer to be letter A!
hope this helps :)
Answer:
y - 1 = - 4(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
Here m = - 4 and (a, b) = (- 3, 1), thus
y - 1 = - 4(x - (- 3)), that is
y - 1 = - 4(x + 3)
