The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as
y = mx + c
where
m represents slope
c represents y intercept
From the informationgiven,
slope = m = 1/5
The y intercept is the values of y when x is 0. When x = 0, y = - 5
Thus, c = - 5
By substituting m = 1/5 and c = - 5 into the equation,
the equation of the line in slope intercept form is
y = x/5 - 5
