We can see that the line passes by the points (0, -5) & (5, 0), using this information we proceed as follows:

1st: We find the slope(m):


m=(0+5)/(5-0)\Rightarrow m=1

2nd: We use one of the points from the line and the slope to replace in the following expression:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

That is (Using point (0, -5):


y+5=1(x-0)

Now, we solve for y:


\Rightarrow y=x-5

And that is the equation of the line shown.
