The y intercept of the equation is the point where x = 0
thus, (x, y) = (0, 16)
slope = ( -5)
The general equation of line with slope 'm' and passing point(a, b)
y - b = m( x- a )
Susbtitute the value m = -5, a = 0, b = 16
y - b = m (x - a)
y - 16 = (-5)(x - 0)
y - 16 = -5x
y = 16 - 5x
The equation of line is y = 16 - 5x
Answer : The equation of line is y = 16 - 5x
