Answer:

y = - x + 1

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given slope m = - 1 , then

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (5, - 4 ) into the partial equation

- 4 = - 5 + c ( add 5 to both sides )

1 = c

y = - x + 1 ← equation of line
