Answer:
y= -5x+2 is the equation.
Answer:
y= -5x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b(we will put the points of “x” and “y” into this formula)
2= -5 (0) +b( as “x” is “0” and is multiplied by “-5” it will become “0” giving us the value of “b”)
2=b(finally we will substitute this answer in the formula we’ve written)
therefore the answer will be:
y= -5x + 2
