Answer:

y = -
(8)/(5) x + 8

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 0 ) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(0-8)/(5-0) =
(-8)/(5) = -
(8)/(5)

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 8 ) ⇒ c = 8

y = -
(8)/(5) x + 8 ← equation of line

Answer: Pretty sure that it's y=-5/3x+8

Step-by-step explanation: Since the slope-intercept form is y=mx+b with b as the y-intercept and m as the slope. b would be 8 since that's where the line intercepts the y-axis and the slope is -5/3 (negative bc the line is slanted down)
