The equation of any line through the point of intersection of the given lines is of the form

\begin{aligned}& (4 x-3 y+7)+k(2 x+3 y+5)=0 \qquad \qquad …(i)\\  \\\Rightarrow \quad & (4+2 k) x+(3 k-3) y+(5 k+7)=0\end{aligned}

If it passes through the point (-4,5) , we have

\begin{aligned}& (4+2 k)(-4)+(3 k-3) \cdot 5+(5 k+7)=0 \\  \\\Rightarrow \quad & -16-8 k+15 k-15+5 k+7=0  \Rightarrow   12 k=24  \Rightarrow   k=2 .\end{aligned}

Substituting k=2 in (i), we get

8 x+3 y+17=0 , which is the required equation.
