Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The slope of the given line is m=-5/4
You want a line of the form y=mx+b
You have y=-2, x=0, m=-5/4
You need to solve for "b"
Substituting into the form we can solve for "b" as follows:
-2=(-5/4)(0)=b
b=-2
The equation you want is y=(-5/4)x-2
