\blue\textsf{\textbf{Question:-}}}

What is the equation of the line passing through (5,0) with a slope of 2/5?


\blue\textsf{\textbf{Answer and Solution:-}}}

First let's write the equation in point-slope form:-

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Substitute the values:-

y-0=2/5(x-5)

Now convert to slope intercept:-

y-0=2/5x-2

Which simplifies to:-

y=2/5x-2

Good luck.
