Another way to write this is:
x = 23y + 5
xy = 6732

Now plug in the first equation into the second:
(23y + 5)y = 6732
23y^2 + 5y - 6732 = 0

Either use quadratic equation or factor:
(y - 17)(23y + 396) = 0
y = 17 or -396/23

You know you can automatically eliminate the second y because it's negative and you need the two integers to multiply to a positive number (6732).

Plug y = 17 back into either equation (second might be easier):
17x = 6732
x = 396

   y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - (-1) = 4[x - (-3)]
   y + 1 = 4(x + 3)
   y + 1 = 4(x) + 4(3)
   y + 1 = 4x + 12
       - 1           - 1
         y = 4x + 11

The answer is B.
