Write an equation in standard form for a line passing through the pair of points.
(-2,0) and (4,-5)
-----------
slope = (-5-0)/(4--2) = -5/6
-----------
Form is y = mx + b
You know m= 5/6 and y = 0 when x = -2
Substitute to solve for "b":
0 = (-5/6)*-2 + b
0 = 5/3 + b
b = -5/3
---------------
Equation:
y = (-5/6)x - 5/3
