Use slope-intercept form where M is the slope and B is the y-intercept to help you solve.
The slope is (-2/1). The y-intercept is (-5).

Equation describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is .

X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. -5/2 = -2.5.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -5/1 = -5.
Slope is -2/1 = -2.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-2*x+-5.
