Since the slope is 2/3, for every time the x-value increases by 1
the y-value increases by 2/3.

The answer to x is found by finding the difference between 3 and 5, which is 2.
2/3 goes into that 3 times.
So subtract 2 from -2 to get -4.
The x-value is -4.

The answer for the y-value is given earlier:
the original point of (-2,5).
The y-value is 5.

Hope this helps!
