The graph appears to cross the y-axis at y=1. This is the y-intercept. Expressed as an ordered pair, the point is (x, y) = (0, 1).

The graph appears to cross the x-axis at x=5. That means the line has dropped one unit (from y=1 to y=0) while x has increased by 5 units (from x=0 to x=5). The slope is ...

... slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = (-1)/(5) = -1/5

The slope is -1/5.

The y-intercept is 1.

_____

The slope-intercept from of the equation for the line is

... y = (-1/5)x +1
