Answer is <span>x + 5y - 25 = 0

y - 5 = -1/5 (x-0)
y - 5 = -1/5x
-5y + 25 = x
x + 5y - 25 = 0</span>

<h2>x + 5 y - 25 = 0</h2><h2>Option C is the correct answer.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of straight line is given by y = mx + c

Slope of line , m = -1/5

y- intercept, c = 5

Substituting

$y=mx+c\\\\y=\frac{-1}{5}x+5\\\\y=\frac{-x+25}{5}\\\\5y=-x+25\\\\x+5y-25=0$

x + 5 y - 25 = 0

Option C is the correct answer.
