Answer:

y = (1)x +(-5)

Explanation:

You want the slope-intercept equation of the line graphed with y-intercept -5 and x-intercept +5.

Intercept form

The intercept form of the equation for a line with x-intercept 'a' and y-intercept 'b' is ...

x/a +y/b = 1

Using the given intercept values, a=5, b=-5, the equation is ...

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

Slope-intercept form

The desired form of the equation can be found by solving for y:

-x +y = -5 . . . . . . multiply by -5

y = x -5 . . . . . . . . add x

The numbers that go in the boxes are 1 and -5.
