Answer:

y - 2 = 4/5(x + 5)

Explanation:

Well, the equation format your question is asking for is Point-slope form which is represented by:


y - y^(1) = m (x - x^(1))


y^(1) = y in point


x^(1) = x in point

m = slope

Now, we have to input our values into our equation.

y - 2 = 4/5(x + 5)

Hope this Helps! :)
