answer

B, y = -5x + 2

explanation

the equation of a line can be written in the y = mx + b form where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept or the y-value when x is 0

since the slope is given at -5, m = -5

since the point passes through (0, 2), when x is 0, the y-value is 2, so b = 2

plug in m and b into y = mx + b

y = mx + b

y = -5x + 2

answer choice B
