The linear equation that passes through the points (0,-8) and (5,-5) is:

y = (3/5)*x - 8

How to find the equation of the line?

A general linear equation is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If the line passes through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), then the slope is:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Here we have the two points: (0,-8) and (5,-5)

Then the slope is:

a = (-5 + 8)/(5 - 0) = 3/5

And because of the point (0, -8) we know that the y-intercept is -8, then the linear equation is:

y = (3/5)*x - 8
