Answer:

-11

Explanation:

There is enough information to put the equation in point slope form.


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We are given the point of (-5,4) and the slope of -3.


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\rightarrow \boxed{y-4=-3(x+5)}

Now, we can take the point slope equation and convert it into slope intercept form.


y-4=-3(x+5)\\\\\left \{ {{-3*x=-3x} \atop {-3*5=-15}} \right.\\\\ y-4=-3x-15\\\\y-4+4=-3x-15+4\\\\\boxed{y=-3x-11}

The y-intercept should be -11.
