Answer:

$y = -\frac{2}{5}\cdot x - 11$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the slope is determined by using the following expression:

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$m = \frac{-7-(-9)}{-10 - (-5)}$

$m = -\frac{2}{5}$

The y-intercept is found by using the line equation, the slope and one point:

$y = m \cdot x +b$

$b = y - m\cdot x$

$b = -7 - \left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)\cdot (-10)$

$b = -11$

The equation of the line is:

$y = -\frac{2}{5}\cdot x - 11$
