Mr. Shaw graphs the function f of x is equal to negative 5 x plus 2 for his class. The line contains the point negative 2 comma 12 What is the point-slope form of the equation of the line he graphed?

The function f(x) = -5x + 2 has slope -5, and the given point is (-2, 12). Using point-slope form, y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), gives y - 12 = -5(x - (-2)), or y - 12 = -5(x + 2). This matches choice D.
