Explanation:
The equation of a line in
#color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
where m represents the slope and b, the y-intercept.
#"Rearrange "y-5=-2/5(x+15)" into this form"# distribute bracket and simplify.
#y-5=-2/5x-6#
#rArry=-2/5x-6+5#
#rArry=-2/5x-1larrcolor(red)" in slope-intercept form"#
