Point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

(m is the slope, (x₁, y₁) is the point you are given that is on the line)

You know:

m = 5

(x₁, y₁) = (-2, -3) So substitute/plug it into the equation

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - (-3) = 5(x - (-2)) (two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)

y + 3 = 5(x + 2) Your answer is A
