Write the equation in either slope-intercept form or standard form:
The line with the slope m=5, passing through the point (-12,0)

Let's use slope-intercept form:

You know the slope is 5, so add that in your equation:

Now you need to find the y-intercept, which is reprented by b. To do so, plug in the values from the coordinate given:

Multiply:

Add 60 to both sides:

So now you have your y-intercept.

So, your equation is:

You can check by plugging in the values in the coordinate:

Multiply:

Add:
