Answer:

Explanation:

The line passes through points (2,1) and (0,-5)

Using this, we can find the slope, which is

change in y/change in x = -6/-2 = 3

Therefore the slop of this line is 3.

Next, the y-intercept of this line is -5.

So we can find the equation of this line in slope-intercept form which is:

y=3x-5
