Answer:

y = -5/4 x + 4

Explanation:

Make sure the -5/4 is beside the x. It should not look like the x is on the bottom of -5/4 alongside of the 4.

Slope-intercept form of an equation is a shortcut, fill-in-the-blank form you can use to write the equation of a line.

Slope-intercept eq:

y = mx + b

You fill in slope where the m is. And you fill in the y-intercept for the b.

In your problem they gave you the slope: m = -5/4 and the y-intercept: b=4.

Fill the m and b in with the given numbers!

y = -5/4 x + 4
