Point P = (-4, -3)

Slope = 5/3

First we will calculate the equation of the line


\begin{gathered} b=y-mx \\ b=-3-(5/3)\cdot(-4) \\ b=-3+20/3 \\ b=11/3 \end{gathered}

The full equation would be


y=(5)/(3)x+(11)/(3)

Second point

x = -3


\begin{gathered} y=(5)/(3)(-3)+(11)/(3) \\ y=-5+(11)/(3) \\ y=-(4)/(3) \end{gathered}

The ordered pair would be (-3, -4/3)
