The Slope-Intercept Form of the equation of a line is:


y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

In this case, you know that:


\begin{gathered} m=-2 \\ y=5 \end{gathered}

Then, you only need to substitute those values into the equation in Slope-Intercept Form:


\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ y=-2x+5 \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is:


y=-2x+5
