If you mean: x-intercept = -2/5 and y-intercept = 5, then we can solve this.
step 1 - notice that both of these are coordinates at (-2/5,0) and (0,5). We can find the slope of these as:

--
The point-slope formula can be expressed as:

We use 1 point and our slope to create

This becomes

which is slope intercept form.
