The given equation of the line is:

[tex]y-5=-3(x-17)[/tex]

It is required to determine the slope of the line.

Recall that the point-slope form of the equation of a line is given as:

[tex]y-b=m(x-a)[/tex]

Where m is the slope of the line and it passes through the point (a,b).

Notice that the given equation is in the point-slope form.

Notice that the slope is m=-3.

The answer is option A.
