Answer:

y - 3 = - 5(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - 5 and (a, b) = (- 1, 3 ), then

y - 3 = - 5(x - (- 1) ) , that is

y - 3 = - 5(x + 1)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

point slope formula is:   y-y1 = m(x-x1)  ( memorize this formula there is also slope intercept)

now plug in your point and slope where m = slope and the number of the given point are (x1,y1)

y-3 = -5(x-(-1))

y-3 = -5(x+1)
