Answer:

y = -4x+5

Explanation:

pick two point (0,5) (4,-11)

lets find the slope

slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m =(-11-5)/(4-0)

m =-16/4

m = -4

the y intercept is 5 (where it crosses the y axis)

the y intercept form of an equation is

y= mx+b

y = -4x+5


let's check another point to make sure we are correct

(-3,-7)

y = -4(-3) +5

y = -12 +5

y = -7

check
