Answer:


\boxed{\sf{y=(5)/(4)x-10 }}

Explanation:

To find the equation of line, you have to use a slope and slope-intercept formula.

Slope formula:


\Longrightarrow:\sf{(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) }

Slope-intercept formula:


\Longrightarrow:\sf{y=mx+b}

  • M represents the slope.
  • B represents the y-intercept.

  • So, the slope is 5/4.
  • The y-intercept is -10.

Rewrite the problem down.

y=5/4x-10

  • So, the correct answer is y=5/4x-10.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
