point-slope form of the equation of the line described..... through: (-4, 3), parallel to y = - 5 3 x - 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Slope is indicated as -53, so the line parallel to given line will also have this same slope.

-53=%28y-3%29%2F%28x-%28-4%29%29

-53=%28y-3%29%2F%28x%2B4%29

-53%28x%2B4%29=y-3

highlight%28y-3=-53%28x%2B4%29%29, in POINT-SLOPE form
