I’m guessing you want the equation? Rise is 5, run is 2 (slope=rise/run). To find the equation, we need a y intercept. the graph must move 8 units left to reach the y axis. To move 8 units left in the negative direction, we must also move 20 units down (because the shift required is 4 times greater than the slope, we must multiply the other coordinate by 4 to find how far to move the coordinate). When x=0, y=(4-20). This can be written as y=-16. The equation would be y=(5/2)x-16
