Answer:

Explanation:

A straight line will have the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope of b the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).

Slope is given as 5, That means:

y = 5x+b

We need a value of b that forces the line to gto through (2/5,12), Enter the point in the above equation and solve for b:

y = mx + b

12 = 5 (2/5) + b

12 = 2 + b

b = 10

y = 5x + 10

See attached graph.
