since intercepts are of equal length,the slope of the required line is 1.
equation of the required line is:-
y-3=1×(x+2)
=>x-y+5=0
equation of the required line is:-
y-3=1×(x+2)
=>x-y+5=0

It's a simple question. I tell you how to solve it.
Let the equation of the straight line be
x/a + y/a =1............ (i) (Here we have taken two a's because it is given that a=b i. e the equation makes equal intercepts on the axes)
Now,
Since it passes through (2,3), we get a= 2+3=5
Therefore, the required equation of the straight line is x+y=5..... That's all...
