First let's find the slope of the line through the points and

Start with the slope formula.

Plug in , , , and

Subtract from to get

Subtract from to get

Reduce

So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is

Now let's use the point slope formula:

Start with the point slope formula

Plug in , , and

Distribute

Multiply

Add 0 to both sides.

Combine like terms.

So the equation that goes through the points and is

Notice how the graph of goes through the points and . So this visually verifies our answer.
Graph of through the points and

The slope-intercept form is:

The points are (2,0) and (0,5)
I can write an equation for each point:
(1)
(2)
From (2),
(1)
(1)
(1)
The equation is:
