You'll actually need to graph for the first segment
but the second part can be solved with algebra

The equation of the line is y(x)=-x

if we test the co0ordinates we can find if the point lies on the line

(5,5)
y(x)=-x

Using the x co-ordinate
y(5)= -5
y=-5

Leaving us with (5,-5)

Because (5,-5) is not (5,5)
This is not a point on the line

The slope of the line is -1
