Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form.
-Slope $= 4$, passing through $( - 2,5 )$
A) $y - 5 = 4 ( x + 2 )$
B) $y + 5 = 4 ( x - 2 )$
C) $x - 5 = 4 ( y + 2 )$
D) $y = 4 x + 13$

The point-slope form of a line is $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$, where $m$ is the slope and $(x_1, y_1)$ is a point on the line. Given the slope $m = 4$ and a point $(-2, 5)$, substituting these values into the formula gives $y - 5 = 4(x + 2)$.
