Answer

$4x-y=-3$

Work Step by Step

Using $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ or the Point-Slope Form of linear equations, the equation of the line with the given conditions, \begin{align*}\require{cancel} y_1&= -5 ,\\x_1&= -2 ,\\m&= 4 ,\end{align*} is \begin{align*}\require{cancel} y-(-5)=4(x-(-2)) \end{align*} In the form $Ax+By=C,$ the equation above is equivalent to \begin{align*} y+5&=4(x+2) \\ y+5&=4x+8 \\ -4x+y&=8-5 \\ -4x+y&=3 \\ -1(-4x+y)&=(3)(-1) \\ 4x-y&=-3 \end{align*}
