Answer:

y = -5/4 + 5

Explanation:

y = mx + b

m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept

The slope is going down so it;s a negative. From one point to the other, it goes down 5 units while going to the right 4 units. So rise/run = -5/4

y-intercept is where the line intercepts on the y-axis, in this case the line goes through 5 on the y-axis, so it's 5
