Question 520109
let's (D): Y=ax+b, (a& b, real numbers)be the equation of the line.
the x-intercept of (D)is -5, means that the point A(-5, 0) is a point of (D)
the y-intercept of (D)is -2, means that the point B(0,-2) is a point of (D)

from these data, we have, -5a+b=0
                           0+b=-2

                           b=-2
                           a=b/5= -2/5

so (D): y= -2/5x-2
