In order to find a slope, there is an equation:

Y2-Y1/X2-X1

X1=2
X2=3
Y1=5
Y2=0

0-5= -5
3-2=1

Since slope is written as Y/X, slope would be-5/1 or simply, -5.

Now, we need to find the y-intercept.

To do this, shift the original equation:

Original equation: y=-5x+b

Shifted equation: b=y+5x

Now, plug in one of the points.

Let's use (2,5)

b=5+5(2)

5*2=10
10+5=15

y-intercept=15

So, the full equation of the line would be:

y=-5x+15
