Answer:

y+3=45(x+5)

Explanation:

Hi there!

Point-Slope Form:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Where

y1 stands for the y-coordinate of the point

m stands for the slope of the line

x1 stands for the x-coordinate of the point

In this case, the slope is 45, the y-coordinate of the given point is -3, and the x-coordinate of the point is -5.

Plug in the values and solve:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-3)=45(x-(-5)

y+3=45(x+5)

Hope it helps!

Enjoy your day!
