Answer:

y +3 = 5(x +2)

Explanation:

You want the equation of a line with slope 5 through the point (-2, -3).

Point-slope form

The point-slope form of the equation for a line is ...

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Application

y +3 = 5(x +2) . . . . . . line with slope 5 through point (-2, -3)

__

Additional comment

This can also be written as ...

y = 5x +7 . . . . . . . . . subtract 3 and simplify
