The line goes through the points (-20,0) and (0,-5)
The slope equation is:

P[1] is (x[1],y[1]) = (-20,0)
P[2] is (x[2],y[2]) = (0,-5)



The slope -intercept form of a line is

so far, I have

is the y-intercept. Given that the line goes through (0,-5),

answer
check answer
Does the line go through the given points?
(-20,0)



OK
(0,-5)


OK
