Answer:
The lines do not intersect.
Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal asymptote is y = 2.
The graph shown approaches y = 2, the horizontal asymptote.
The equation expands to ...
y = 2 +2/(5x^2)
This approaches 2 (from above) as x gets large and the fraction approaches zero.
The HA is y = 2. (not 0)
m is -12/7 and b is -64/7
Use rise over run (change in y / change in x) to find the slope, m:
(-4 - 8) / (-3 + 10)
= -12/7
So, m is -12/7.
Plug in this value and a point into y = mx + b, then solve for b:
y = mx + b
-4 = -12/7(-3) + b
-4 = 36/7 + b
-64/7 = b
So, m is -12/7 and b is -64/7
