Answer:

y = -⅕x + 1

Explanation:

slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We can see the data forms around a line, and the approximate line has a y-intercept of 1, so b can be replaced with 1. If we calculate the slope, we get -⅕, so we can also replace the variable m with the actual slope.
