Hello there! :)
Given:
x-coordinate of point = -2
y-coordinate of point = 5
Slope, or "m" = 1/5
Substitute in these values into slope-intercept formula (y = mx+b)
5 = 1/5(-2) + b
5 = -2/5 + b
25/5 = -2/5 + b
27/5 = b
Rewrite the equation:
y = 1/5x + 27/5
Graph the equation using a graphing utility:
