Answer:

y = 5x - 10

Explanation:

We are given the slope but not the y intercept. This means we have to find an alternate way to find the y intercept. We can use point slope form
(y-y1) =m(x-x1) and then solve for y to convert the equation into slope intercept form
y=mx+b


(y-5)=5(x-1)

Distribute the 5


(y-5)=5x-5

Add 5 on both sides


y=5x-10
