Find the equation of the line that contains the two given points. (-5, -1), (-2, -3)
A) 2 x $-$ 3 y = 13
B) 2 x $-$ 3 y = 13.
C) 2 x + 3 y = 13
D) 2 x + 3 y = -13

The slope of the line through the points (-5, -1) and (-2, -3) is $\frac{-3 + 1}{-2 + 5} = -\frac{2}{3}$. Using the point-slope form $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$ with point (-5, -1), the equation becomes $y + 1 = -\frac{2}{3}(x + 5)$. Simplifying, we get $2x + 3y = -13$.
