Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation has the form of y = mx + b (slope intercept form)
where m = - 1/5
start with the point-slope form and work it to the slope-intercept form
y-y1 = m(x-x1) (point-slope form)
y-5 = -1/5(x-(-5))
y-5 = -1/5(x+5)
y-5 = -1/5(x) + -1/5(5)
y-5 = -x/5 + - 5/5
y-5 = -[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] X -1
y = -[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] X - 1 +5
y = -[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] X +4
there you go :)
