Answer:

y = 1/5x - 5

Explanation:

slope intercept form: y=mx+b

m is the slope

to find slope, do rise/run. for this graph it comes out to be 2/10, which simplifies to 1/5

b is your y-intercept, aka where the line comes in contact with the y-axis

by calculating your slope, you can then find that if you follow the 1/5 slope, but make it a negative, your line would cross the y-anix at -5

therefore your answer is: y = 1/5x - 5

hope this helped!
