Answer:

r = 4

Explanation:

The general form of the equation is y=mx + b where m is the slope and b is the intercept. The problem tells us that the slope is -3. So we know that y=-3x+b

Let's use the known coordinate (-5,13) to solve for b.

y=-3x+b

13 = -3(-5) + b

13 = 15 + b

b = -2

So now we have the equation:

y=-3x-2

Let's use the other coordinate (-2,r) and solve for the unknown "r" (which is y):

y = -3*-2 - 2

y = 6 - 2

y = 4

So the answer is 4.
