Answer:
-5 < x < 5
Step-by-step explanation:
|x| < 5
This can be split into two cases: x < 5 and -x < 5 because |x| could be either x or -x depending on whether x is positive, negative, or 0. Solving the second one we get x > -5 so the answer is -5 < x < 5.
The correct answer is B. x is greater than -2.
Point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1). If you apply that point and the slope to the formula (hence the name point-slope), you'd get y - 10 = -5(x + 8).
Hope this helps! :)
REVISE: I accidently put y instead of x in the -5(x + 8) part. It's fixed now.
