Answer:

y=2x-5

Explanation:

Slope is rise over run, or y/x

The points given were (0,-5) and (-1,-3)

Using y2-y1/x2-x1 we can find the slope.

-3-(-5)/-1-0 = 2/-1 = -2 = slope

Next, we have to find the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the point on the line meets the y-axis.

This point is shown at -5.

Now, putting our information into y=mx+b (slope-intercept form)

y=2x-5

2 is our slope

-5 is our y intercept
