Answer:

y = -5/6x - 2

Explanation:

The y-intercept is -2 because that is where the line crosses the y-axis Remember that slope is rise/run (there are many other terms for slope but this is the one I will reference). Therefore, the slope from one point to the next is down 5 and over 6. Since this is a decreasing slope (down 5), your slope will be negative
