x-intercept of 2, means the point (2,0).
y-intercept of 5, means the point (0,5).
We need the slope, which is (0-5) / (2-0), or
Therefore, slope intercept form would be:

Standard form: Y = mX + B
Now B is the Y-intercept so B = 5
Now the equation is
To find the slope of the line (m) we need to set Y = 0, and let X = 2 (The given X-intercept)
Subtract 5 from both sides
Divide both sides by 2

The equation of the line is
