Step-by-step explanation:

We can start with the point-slope form of the equation for a line. To meet the given requirements, we can use a point of (5, 0) and a slope of -1. Then the equation in that form is ...

  y -0 = -1(x -5)

Simplifying gives the slope-intercept form:

  y = -x +5 . . . . . . . use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses

Adding x to both sides gives the standard form:

  x + y = 5

Explanation

We know the line has the required intercept and slope because we chose those values to put into the point-slope form. Conversion from one form to another made use of the rules of equality, the additive identity element (y-0=y), and the distributive property.
