To find the equation of the line that represents the nonproportional linear relationship between x and y, we can use the formula for the equation of a line:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
Using the points (-5, 0) and (0, 5) to calculate the slope:
m = (5 - 0) / (0 - (-5))
m = 5 / 5
m = 1
Now that we have found the slope, we can substitute one of the points into the equation to solve for the y-intercept:
0 = 1(-5) + b
0 = -5 + b
b = 5
Therefore, the linear equation that represents the nonproportional linear relationship is:
y = x + 5
