You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Slope-Intercept Form, y=mx%2Bb;
b=y-mx.
substitute the coordinate values for point to be contained:
b=0-%28-5%29%2A2
b=10
Equation is highlight%28y=-5x%2B10%29.


...and graph the line.
y-intercept is 10, and slope is steeply downward; and you already know x-intercept is 2.
