Answer:

y + 1 = -5(x - 4)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

  • x₁ - x coordinate
  • y₁ - y coordinate
  • m - slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables.

Point (4, -1) → x₁ = 4, y₁ = -1

Slope m = -5

Step 2: Find Equation

  1. Substitute in variables [Point-Slope Form]:                                                    y - -1 = -5(x - 4)
  2. Simplify:                                                                                                             y + 1 = -5(x - 4)
