y + 3 = -4(x - 5) is in point slope form.
Point slope form (attachment)

In slope intercept form, or y = mx + b, we know that m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

In the equation you mentioned in your question, -4 is the slope.
The ordered pair would be (5, -3).

The answer is A. -4.
