Answer:

y=-4x+5

Explanation:

1. Find the slope by counting downward and over from one point to another point. Let's start from (-2,13) and go down to (0,5)

If you are worried about miscounting, you could also use the slope formula which is y2-y1/x2-x1

5-13/0--2

= -8/2

The slope is -4.

2. FInd where the line crosses the y-axis to get the y-intercept. Here it crosses it at 5.

3. Write the equation on slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b where mx represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

y=-4x+5
