Hey there,

So in order for us to write the equation we need to know the y-intercept.

We use the slope intercept form to solve for that:

                                            y = mx + b

We plug in the slope and the point:

  • 4 = -5(-1) + b

Now we solve for b:

  • -1 = b

Since we have the y-intercept and the slope now we can write it in the equation:

  • y = -5x - 1

Hope I helped,
