Answer:

y =
(1)/(5) x + 8

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m =
(1)/(5), hence

y =
(1)/(5) x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 10, 6) into the partial equation

6 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = 6 + 2 = 8

y =
(1)/(5) x + 8
