Answer

$2x-3y=-15$

Work Step by Step

Using $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ or the Point-Slope Form of linear equations, the equation of the line with the given conditions, \begin{align*} y_1=5 ,\\x_1=0 ,\\m=\dfrac{2}{3} ,\end{align*} is \begin{align*} y-5&=\dfrac{2}{3}(x-0) \\\\ y-5&=\dfrac{2}{3}x \end{align*} In the form $Ax+By=C,$ where $A,$ $B,$ and $C$ are integers, the equation above is equivalent to \begin{align*} 3(y-5)&=\left( \dfrac{2}{3}x \right)3 \\ 3y-15&=2x \\ -2x+3y&=15 \\ -1(-2x+3y)&=(15)(-1) \\ 2x-3y&=-15 \end{align*}
