1. **State the problem:** We need to find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$ that passes through the point $(-3,5)$ and has slope $m=-2$.
2. **Recall the slope-intercept form:** The equation of a line is given by
$$y=mx+b$$
where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
3. **Substitute the known slope:** We know $m=-2$, so the equation becomes
$$y=-2x+b$$
4. **Use the point to find $b$:** Substitute $x=-3$ and $y=5$ into the equation:
$$5 = -2(-3) + b$$
$$5 = 6 + b$$
5. **Solve for $b$:**
$$b = 5 - 6$$
$$b = -1$$
6. **Write the final equation:** Substitute $b=-1$ back into the equation:
$$y = -2x - 1$$
**Answer:** The right side of the slope-intercept form is $-2x - 1$.
