Answer:

Equation: y =
(1)/(5)x - 1

Slope:
(1)/(5)

Y-intercept: -1

Explanation:

Point 1: (0, -1) or (
x_(1),
y_(1))

Point 2: (5, 0) or (
x_(2),
y_(2))

Slope:


y_(2) -
y_(1) /
x_(2) -
x_(1)

0 - (-1) / 5 - 0


(1)/(5) = m

Equation:

y -
y_(1) = m (x -
x_(1))

y - (-1) =
(1)/(5) (x - 0)

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

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

Y-intercept:

-1
