Answer:

The equation of the line is 5x + y + 19 = 0

Explanation:

The equation of the line with slope 'm' and given a point (x₁, y₁) passing through it we use the Slope - one - point form which is given by:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

The point given is: (-3, -4) and the slope is -5.

We get the equation of the line to be:

y - (-4) = -5(x - (-3))

⇒ y + 4 = -5(x + 3)

⇒ y + 4 = -5x - 15

5x + y + 19 = 0. is the required equation of the line.
