Answer:

C)
y=-(1)/(5)x

Explanation:

The equation of a straight line is given by:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line, b is the y intercept (value of x when y is 0) and y, x are variables.

The equation of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by:


y-y_1=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) (x-x_1)

From the graph, the line passes through (0, 0) and (10, -2), hence the equation of the line is:


y-0=(-2-0)/(10-0)(x-0)\\\\y=-(1)/(5)x \\\\
