Answer:

y = -1/3x - 5/3

Explanation:

The slope of a line is the ratio of vertical distance to horizontal distance between the points. Since the line has to cross through the point (-5,0), count out the slope -1/3 by moving down 1 unit and to the right 3 units. This places the line between -1 and -2 on the y-axis. Looking at the options listed for b in y = mx + b. b = -5/3 is the best option and is between -1 and -2.
