Answer:

these are tough, it takes a lot of practice to get used to these, sooo

Explanation:

we know the slope, m= -5/3, and we're given a point so use the point slope formula

y= mx + b

the point we are given is in this form (x,y)

then plug the information into our point slope formula

y = (-5/3) x + (-2)

y = -5x/3 -2
