To find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-2, 0) and (-5, 0), we first note that both points have a y-coordinate of 0. This indicates that they lie on the x-axis.

Since the y-coordinates are zero, the line is horizontal. In slope-intercept form, the equation of a horizontal line is given by:

\[ y = b \]

where \( b \) is the y-intercept. In this case, the y-intercept \( b \) is 0.

Therefore, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

\[ y = 0 \]

This is a horizontal line along the x-axis.
