To find the line parallel to y = -2x - 5 that includes the point (-1, 3), we'll use the same slope (m = -2) since parallel lines have the same slope.

Using the point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Plug in the values: y - 3 = -2(x - (-1))

Simplify: y - 3 = -2(x + 1)

Now, we can find the y value of the point:

y - 3 = -2(-1 + 1)
y - 3 = 0
y = 3

So, the y value of the point is 3.
