The linear equation in the slope-intercept form is:

y = 0.5x + 1.5

How to write the line in slope-intercept form?

We start with the linear equation:

5x - 10y = -15

We want to write it in the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

So we just need to isolate the variable y, so let's do that:

5x - 10y = -15

5x + 15 = 10y

Divide both sides by 10

(5x + 15)/10 = y

(5/10)x + 15/10 = y

0.5x + 1.5 = y

That is the equation of the line.
