Solution:

We are given 2 points of the line i.e., (5, 0) and (0, 2)

We can use the 2 point form of equation of line to get the equation \(y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\)
\(⇒ y-0=\frac{2-0}{0-5}(x-5)\)
\(⇒y=-\frac{2}{5}(x-5)\)
\(⇒5y=-2x+10\)
\(⇒2x+5y=10\)

Hence the right answer is Option C
