Answer:

f(x) = -1x + 1

Explanation:

f(x) = mx + b

the equation above is slope intercept form. in order to make it you need a slope and a y intercept. you were given the slope, so now you need a y intercept. but where would you find that??? look no farther than the point you were given, (1,1). the y intercept is the second number in the parentheses. next you take your slope and your y-intercept and place them in.

f(x) = -1x + 1

hope i could help
