The line of the equation would be y = -1/4x + 11/16.

In order to find that, we'll put the ordered pair and the slope into slope intercept form. Then we can solve for the intercept.

y = mx + b
1 = -1/4(-5/4) + b
1 = 5/16 + b
11/16 = b

So then we put that in the equation with slope for the final equation.
