\text{Given that,}\\\\(x_1,y_1) = (-2,-3), ~~\text{and slope,}~~m = \frac 52\\\\\\\text{Now,}\\\\y -y_1 =m(x-x_1)\\\\\implies y +3 = \frac52 (x+2)\\\\\implies y = \frac 52(x+2) -3\\\\\\\implies y = \frac{5}2 x + 5 -3 \\\\\\\implies y = \frac 52 x + 2\\\\\\\text{This is the slope-intercept form(y =mx+b)}.
