YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN A POINT AND A SLOPE AND ASKED FOR AN EQUATION OF A LINE. THAT IS YOUR CLUE THAT YOU SHOULD USE THE POINT SLOPE FORMULA.
, where m=slope, and (x1,y1) is the given point.
Graph the line described: Through (-2,-3);m = 5/4
x1=-2, y1=-3, m=5/4

Avoid adding fractions if you want by multiplying both sides by the LCD,4.

This is the equation in standard form, but some books don't lead with a negative x. If this is the case, then multiply both sides of the equation by -1.
Is also in standard form.
I forgot to graph this earlier, sorry.
Plot (-2,-3) , then use the slope=rise/run=5/4. Go up from that point and right 4 and plot a second point at (2,2). Connect the dots and you should have this line:

Happy Calculating!!!

y=mx+b

equation =) y = mx+b
