you need point slope formula:
y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29
the equation of the line that has slope m=2%2F3, passing through the point (0, -5) is:

y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29...substitute given data
y-%28-5%29=%282%2F3%29%28x-0%29
y%2B5=%282%2F3%29x
y=%282%2F3%29x-5-> your equation

Find the equation of the line with slope 𝑚 = 2/3, passing through the point (0, −5).
(0, − 5) is the y-intercept point, so b = - 5,
With a slope or m of 2%2F3, equation of the line is: highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+y%2C+%22=%22%2C+%282%2F3%29x+-+5%29%29
That's it!!
