First, notice that the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0,5), and that it also passes through the point (2,4). Then, we can use the equation for the slope given two points:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
in this case, we get the following:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(2,4)_{} \\ (x_2,y_2)=(0,5) \\ \Rightarrow m=\frac{5-4}{0-2}=-\frac{1}{2} \\ m=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]
now that we have that the slope is m = -1/2 and that the y-intercept is 5 (since the intersection is the point (0,5)), then, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is:
[tex]y=-\frac{1}{2}x+5[/tex]
