Answer:

1). y = -7/5x - 4

2). y = 1/5x - 5

Explanation:

In this question, we have to write the slope-intercept form of the given information.

Slope intercept form is: y = mx + b

Our "m" value is our slope and our "b" value is our y-intercept.

With that knowledge, we can plug in our given information to the slope-intercept equation:

1) slope = -7/5, y-intercept = -4

Plug -7/5 to "m" and -4 to "b"

y = -7/5x - 4

2) slope = 1/5, y-intercept = -5

Plug 1/5 to "m" and -5 to "b"

y = 1/5x - 5
