Answer:
y = 1/5x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
When a point and slope are given, sometimes it is easiest to start with the point-slope form of the equation. Then it can be rearranged to the desired form.
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
y -0 = 1/5(x -10) . . . . . line with slope 1/5 through point (10, 0)
y = 1/5x -2 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses to get slope-intercept form
_____
Note that the slope in the attached picture is 1/5, but your problem text says it is 5. Very different equations will result from these different slopes.
