If you are asking for the equation then the answer is
y=5x-2

Presuming you want slope-intercept form, if m is the slope and b is the intercept, it is simply y = 5x - 2.


Be careful that when you post questions, that you specify your variables clearly. Most tutors will know what m and b refer to, but there could be others who used different variables for slope and y-intercept when they learned it, e.g. y = ax + b.
