Solution

$\begin{matrix} S u b s t i t u t i n g t h e v a l u e s i n e q u a t i o n \frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1 w e g e t, \frac{x}{5} + \frac{y}{2} = 1 \Rightarrow 5 y + 2 x - 10 = 0 i f w e w a n t t o w r i t e t h e e q u a t i o n i n t h e s l o p e - i n t e r c e p t f o r m t h e n y = - \frac{2}{5} x + 2. \end{matrix}$
