Answer

The equation of the line can be written as

y = (2x/5) - 2

Multiply through by 5 and we can write it in a better form as

5y = 2x - 10

Step-by-step explanation

The slope and y-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given as

y = mx + c

where

y = y-coordinate of a point on the line.

m = slope of the line.

x = x-coordinate of the point on the line whose y-coordinate is y.

c = y-intercept of the line.

For this question,

Slope = m = (2/5)

y-intercept = c = -2

y = mx + c

y = (2/5) x + (-2)

y = (2x/5) - 2

Multiply through by 5

5y = 2x - 10

Hope this Helps!!!
