1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find the slope and y-intercept of a line from its graph, and then use these to write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. The slope is given as 8/58/-5 and the y-intercept is given as (0,0)(0,0).

2. Solution Steps

First, simplify the slope. 8/58/-5 can be written as 8/5-8/5.
Next, we're given the y-intercept as (0,0)(0, 0). This means the line crosses the y-axis at the point where y=0y = 0.
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:
y=mx+by = mx + b
where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.
In this case, m=8/5m = -8/5 and b=0b = 0.
Plugging these values into the slope-intercept form, we get:
y=(8/5)x+0y = (-8/5)x + 0
Which simplifies to:
y=(8/5)xy = (-8/5)x

3. Final Answer

y=85xy = -\frac{8}{5}x
