(\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-10}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-5}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-5}-\stackrel{y1}{0}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{-10}-\underset{x_1}{5}}} \implies \cfrac{ -5 }{ -15 } \implies \cfrac{1 }{ 3 }


\begin{array}ll \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{ \cfrac{1 }{ 3 }}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{5})\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y=\cfrac{1}{3}x-\cfrac{5}{3} \end{array}}
