Answer:

y= 5/2x - 5

Explanation:

First, use the equation y=mx+b

m = the slope (5/2)

x = the x coordinate: 4

y = the y coordinate: 5

Then plug in for the values and solve for the only unknown, b.

Therefore we have:

5 = (5/2)4 + b

5 = 10 + b

5 - 10 = b

b = -5

Revert to original equation:

y = 5/2x - 5
