Answer:

y+3 = (2/3)(x -5)

Explanation:

The point-slope form is ...

... y - k = m(x -h) . . . . . for slope m, point (h, k)

You have m = (2/3), h = 5, k = -3. Putting these numbers into the formula gives ...

... y -(-3) = (2/3)(x - 5)

... y + 3 = (2/3)(x - 5) . . . . . . matches the last selection
