-3 represents what is on the x-axis
-5 represents what is on the y-axis
The formula for slope is:
m= y (vertical rise) divided by x (horizontal run)
You have to plot the points for (-3, -5) and draw a line that intercepts both of these points. Since they're both negative numbers, what you'll get is a negative slope (which goes downward).
It's partly right but not the whole problem. Sorry not much of a math wiz here.

The slope equals 2/3. Rise over run. up two over three.

The y-intercept is the point (0,-3).
You use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Here it's (-5 - -3) / (-3 - 0) = -2 / -3 or 2/3
