(\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ 0.25 \\\\\\ \begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-2)}=\stackrel{m}{ 0.25}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{5}) \implies y +2= 0.25 (x -5)
