Tracy - If you know the slope and a point on the line you can find the equation of the line using this formula: y - y* = m (x - x*) Where, m = slope and (x*,y*) is the point on the line. In your example, m=5 and (x*,y*) = (-3,4).  Just plug these values into the formula above and simplify. Good Luck

y-(-4)= m(x-(-3))y= 5(x+3)-4
