Use 2 points on the line to find the slope.

Slope = change in y / change in x

The two points used: (-2,5) and ( 1,-10)


slope = (-10 -5) /(1- -2) = -15/3 = -5


the y intercept is where the line is at in the y direction when it crosses the x axis at 0.


the y intercept is -5


The equation is y = -5x -5
