What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,2) and has a slope of -2/5?

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know the slope of the line: -2/5. So, we can make an equation like this:

In the question it gives us both x and y in the point (-5,2). You can plug this back into the equation like this:

Now, just solve for b to find the y-intercept:

Because b equals 0 there is you can write the final equation like this:
