Answer:

y = 8/5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope using rise over run (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(-19 - 5) / (-10 - 5)

-24 / -15

= 8/5

Plug in the slope and a given point into y = mx + b, and solve for b

y = mx + b

5 = 8/5(5) + b

5 = 8 + b

-3 = b

Plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b

y = 8/5x - 3

So, the equation is y = 8/5x - 3
