Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

y - 3 = 5(x - 2) ​

Expand the bracket, we have:

y - 3 = 5x - 5(2)

y - 3 = 5x - 10

Add "3" to both sides, we have:

y - 3 + 3 = 5x - 10 + 3 ⇒ y = 5x - 7

y = 5x - 7

From the general slope-intercept equation,

y = mx + b

Where: m = slope, b =y-intercept

It implies that y-intercept equals -7 (b = -7)

At the x-intercept, y = 0

y = 5x - 7
