Answer:


y = (3)/(5)x - 2

Explanation:

First, find two points that are located on the given line. In this case, we will use the following points:

(-5 , -5) , (0 , -2)

First, find the slope. The slope can be found using the slope formula:

slope (m) =
(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

Let:


(x_1 , y_1) = (0 , -2)\\(x_2 , y_2) = (-5 , -5)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding angles:

m =
(-5 - (-2))/(-5 - 0)

Simplify. Combine like terms, and then divide:

m =
(-5 + 2)/(-5 - 0) = (-3)/(-5) = (3)/(5)

Plug in
(3)/(5) into the slope (m), and a point into (x , y) to find the y-intercept:


y = (3)/(5)x + b\\-2 = (3)/(5)(0) + b\\-2 = 0 + b\\-2 = b\\b = -2\\

Your answer:


y = (3)/(5)x - 2
