The slope of the line, m = -3

The equation passes through the point (-2, 5)

That is x₁ = -2, y₁ = 5

Substitute x₁ = -2, y₁ = 5, and m = -3

The point-slope form of the equatio of a line is:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

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

y - 5 = -3(x + 2)

y - 5 = -3x - 6

y = -3x - 6 + 5

y = -3x - 1

The graph of the equation y = -3x - 1 is plotted below
