Answer:


y+3=0.8(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Slope of the line, m = 0.8

Point on the line = (-2, -3)

The point slope form of a line with slope m and passing through (a, b) is


y-b=m(x-a)

Substitute the given values into the formula.


\begin{gathered} y-(-3)=0.8(x-(-2)) \\ y+3=0.8(x+2) \end{gathered}

which is the required equation of line.
