+%28+y+-%28-5%29+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+0+%29+=+%28+1+-%28-5%29+%29+%2F+%28+5+-+0+%29+
+%28+y+%2B+5+%29+%2F+x+=+6+%2F+5+
multiply both sides by +5x+
+5%2A%28+y+%2B+5+%29+=+6x+
+5y+%2B+25+=+6x+
+5y+=+6x+-+25+
+y+=+%286%2F5%29%2Ax+-+5+ answer
check the points (0,-5) , (5,1)
+-5+=+%286%2F5%29%2A0+-5+
+-5+=+-5+
OK
+1+=+%286%2F5%29%2A5+-+5+
+1+=+6+-+5+
+1+=+1+
OK
