$y = - \frac{2}{5} x - 1$ $y=-2/5x-1$

Explanation:

The equation of a line in $slope-intercept form$ $color(blue)"slope-intercept form"$ 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.

$y-5=-2/5x-6$

$rArry=-2/5x-6+5$

$rArry=-2/5x-1larrcolor(red)" in slope-intercept form"$
