Explanation:

Hey there!

The given slope is "-5" and it passes through point (2,-3).

Use one-point formula to find out the equation.


(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

Put all values.


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

Simplify it.


(y + 3) = - 5x + 10


y = - 5x + 10 - 3


y = - 5x + 7

Therefore, the equation is y= -5x+7.

Hope it helps...
