Answer

The IUPAC name for that compound is: "2,3-dimethylpentane" A line-angle formula of that compound is in the following image:

Work Step by Step

1. Draw the bond between the 2 main carbons. - Both main carbon atoms are highlighted. 2. Add the groups connected to the carbon on the line-angle drawing. (Except the Hydrogens). 3. Convert the groups formulas to the line-angle drawing style. Don't forget: the group chain starts at the marked carbon, so a methyl group ($CH_3$) is a line attached to that carbon, and a ethyl is two lines.
