The equation of line with slope 2/3 and crosses the y axis at (0, -5) is:

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the slope intercept form of the equation to make an equation of the given line

The slope-intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Here m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given

m = 2/3

Putting the value of slope

$y=\frac{2}{3}x+b$

The y intercept is -5 so we will put in the equation

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-5$

The equation of line with slope 2/3 and crosses the y axis at (0, -5) is:

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-5$

$\text{Here,}\\\\\text{Opposite side,}~ O = 2\\\\\text{Hypotenuse,}~ H = \sqrt 5 \\\\\text{Adjacent side,}~ A = \sqrt{5-4} = \sqrt 1 =1 ~~ ;[\text{By using Pythagorean theorem}]\\\\\\\sin \theta = \dfrac{O}H = \dfrac 2{\sqrt 5}\\\\\\\cos \theta = \dfrac{A}{H} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt 5} \\ \\\\ \tan \theta = \dfrac{O}{A} = \dfrac 21 = 2$

$csc \theta = \dfrac{1}{\sin \theta} = \dfrac{\sqrt 5}2\\\\\\\sec \theta = \dfrac{1}{\cos \theta} = \sqrt 5 \\\\\\\cot \theta = \dfrac 1{\tan \theta} = \dfrac 12$
