We can use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line L


Start with the point-slope formula.


Plug in (the given slope)


Plug in and (the given point)


Rewrite as


Distribute.


Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate y.


Combine like terms.


So the equation of the line L that has a slope of 5 that goes through the point (1,-3) is
