Yes that answer could work. Actually, many solutions could work in this case since only point is specified. If you want an equation in y form, you could say y=0 and that would work, since the line goes through x=-5. Imagine the point (-5,0) is an anchor for a spinner. In your solution your graph, or spinner, is completely vertical. The "spinner" could have any slope as long as it goes through (-5,0).
