For a straight line graph, the point at which the line crosses the y axis is called the y intercept. From the information given, the line crosses the y axis at - 5. This means that the y intercept is - 5

We would write the equation in the slope intercept form whicg is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where m represents the slpoe

We would substitute x = 2, y = 3 and c = - 5 in the equation above to determine the slope, m. It becomes

3 = m * 2 - 5

3 = 2m - 5

3 + 5 = 2m

2m = 8

m = 8/2

m = 4

The equation would be

y = 4x - 5y interceptF
