Answer:

The standard form of the equation is
y = ((2)/(5))x-5

Explanation:

The point is given as (5, -3)

Slope of the equation is 2/5.

The POINT SLOPE form of an equation with slope m and point (x0,y0) is given as y- y0 = m (x- x0)

Here, the equation is given as :


y - (-3) =  = (2)/(5)  (x-5)\\or, 5(y+3) = 2(x -5)\\\implies 5y + 15 =  2x -10\\or, 5y = 2x - 25\\or, y = (2x)/(5)-5

Hence the standard form of the equation is
y = ((2)/(5))x-5
