First we need to find the slope.

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

slope = (-5 - 2) / (5 - -3)

slope = (-7) / (5 + 3)

slope = -7/8

.

Point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = (-7/8)(x - -3)

y - 2 = (-7/8)(x + 3)

y - 2 = (-7/8)x - 21/8

y = (-7/8)x - 21/8 + 2

y = (-7/8)x - 21/8 + 16/8

y = (-7/8)x - 5/8
