Answer:

The correct answer is B. y = -1/4x + 11/16

Explanation:

In order to find this, we must plug in the slope and the point into point-slope form. We can then solve for slope intercept form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = -1/4(x - -5/4)

y - 1 = -1/4(x + 5/4)

y - 1 = -1/4x - 5/16

y = -1/4x + 11/16
