To translate rectangle EFGH according to the rule \( T_{-5, 9}(x, y) \), we can apply the translation to the coordinates of point H.

The translation rule \( T_{-5, 9} \) means that you subtract 5 from the x-coordinate and add 9 to the y-coordinate of the point.

The coordinates of the pre-image of point H are \((-2, -3)\).

Now let's apply the translation:

1. For the x-coordinate:
\[
x' = -2 - 5 = -7
\]

2. For the y-coordinate:
\[
y' = -3 + 9 = 6
\]

Thus, the coordinates of H' after the translation are \((-7, 6)\).

So the answer is:
\[
\boxed{(-7, 6)}
\]
