You can put this solution on YOUR website!

the slope–intercept form y+=+mx+%2B+b, or the form x+=+c.

(-5,4); m=+-%282%2F5%29
y+=+mx+%2B+b...plug in x and y value from given point, and slope
4+=-%282%2F5%29%28-5%29+%2B+b
4+=-%282%2Fcross%285%29%29%28-cross%285%29%29+%2B+b
4+=-2%2F-1+%2B+b
4+=2+%2B+b
4+-2+=+b
b=2
so, your equation is: y+=-%282%2F5%29x+%2B+2
