equation for a line when it passes through (-5,0) and (0,4/5)=(0,0.8)

Solved by pluggable solver: Find the equation of line going through points

hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (-5, 0) and (x2, y2) = (0, 0.8).
Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation , or . From that,
intercept b is , or .

y=(0.16)x + (0.8)
