Answer:

The answer is [tex]y=-\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{9}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with [tex]y-y_{0} =m(x-x_{0})[/tex]

[tex]m=-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

and [tex](x_0,y_0)=(2,-5)[/tex]

this implies,

[tex]y+5=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}\\\\y=-\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{9}{2}[/tex]

is the equation of line in slope-intercept form.
