Answer:
(-7, 1)
Explanation:

Okay, have you heard of the formula y = mx + b?
M = slope
B = y-intercept (what point the line is crossing on the y axis (0, _) )

So what to do with this information? Let’s start by plotting (-5, -4)

Since we know the slope is -3/5, we will go down 3 points from (-5, -4) and to the right 5 points. Our new points will be (-7, 1)

Hope this helps! Comment wether it does or not please :)
