Answer

Choice $G$

Work Step by Step

The line in the given graph passes through $(-1,1)$ and $(0,-1)$. Using $$ m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} $$ or the Slope Formula where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are two points on the line, then the slope of the line in the given graph is $$ m=\frac{1-(-1)}{-1-0}=-2 .$$ Since parallel lines have the same slope, then the needed line has to have a slope of $m=-2$ also. Furthermore, the needed line passes through $(5,-8)$. Then by the Point-Slope Form, $$\begin{aligned} y-y_1&=m(x-x_1) \\ y-(-8)&=-2(x-5) \\ y+8&=-2x+10 \\ y+2x&=2 .\end{aligned} $$Therefore, the equation of the needed line is $y+2x=2$. Hence, Choice $G$.
