\huge\boxed{\boxed{Hello\:there!}}

We are given the slope of the line and its y-intercept, so we can easily determine its equation.

Since we have the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Slope-Intercept form looks like so:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Slope: -1

Y-intercept: -5

Equation: y=-1x-5

y=-x-5 (Answer)

Hope it helps! Enjoy your day!

Please feel free to ask if you have any doubts.
