y-%28-5%29=%28%28-7%2B5%29%2F%28-1-3%29%29%28x-3%29 starting in point-slope form. Not the only way to start.

SIMPLIFY. Do what you need to. You either want as form Ax+By=C, or y=mx+b. Basic Algebra/Arithmetic. Nothing to "solve".

y%2B5=%28-2%2F%28-4%29%29%28x-3%29
y%2B5=%281%2F2%29%28x-3%29
2y%2B10=x-3
2y-x=-13
x-2y=13----------if you want in this form
