Answer:

y=
(-1)/(6)x+5

Explanation:

y=mx+b

m= slope

b= y-intercept

-1/6 is the slope because it is the unknown variable

5 is the y-intercept because it hits a perfect point on the y-axis

to find the slope i used rise/run the rise is -1 and the run is 6

the rise is negative because it is going to the left and essentially on a full graph that would be negative

hopefully this helps :) have a nice day !!
