Answer:

y = (2/5)x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming that your x-intercept is (5,0) and that your y-intercept is (0,-2).

Going from (0, -2) to (5,0), x increases by 5 and y increases by 2.  Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 2/5.

The equation of this line is thus y = (2/5)x - 2.
