Answer:

The equation would be

y =-5x + 5

Explanation:

Use the x of 0 from the point given (0,5)

Use the y of 5 from the point given (0,5)

Use the slope that is given: -5

Use all of the above to solve for the y-intercept (b).

y = mx + b

5 = -5(0) + b

5 = 0 + b

5 = b

y =mx + b

y = -5x + 5

In the graph, the line crosses the y axis at (0,5) . The is the y -intercept or the "b" of the equation.

From that points move down 5 and one to the right. This is the slope. Once we have two points we can draw a line.

Graph the line through the given point with the given slope. (0, 5), m = - 5 (basically-example-1
