Answer:

2x + 3y = -13

Explanation:

We can first find the equation of the line in point-slope form. The slope of the line is given by
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1), which is (-5-(-3))/(1-(-2)), or -2/3. The equation for a line in point-slope form is
y-y_1=m(x-x_1) where
m is the slope and
(x_1,y_1) is a point on the line -- in this case, we may use (1, -5). Therefore, the equation for the line is y + 5 = -2/3 (x-1).

The question asks for the equation of the line in standard form -- which is
Ax+By=C. We can get this by simplifying the equation above to get
2x+3y=-13.
