Answer:

y = -4x + 5

Explanation:

y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

I see point (0, 5), so the y-intercept is 5. b = 5

Another easy to read point is (1, 1).

We need to find the slope.

slope = rise/run

Now go from point (0, 5) down vertically 4 units. The rise is -4.

Finally, go 1 unit right to point (1, 1). the run is 1.

m = slope = rise/run = -4/1 = -4

y = -4x + 5
