Answer 1

a. y = -5x + 4

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Slope, m = -5

Intercept, c = 4

Mathematically, the equation of line is given by the formula; y = mx + c

Where;

m is the slope.

x and y are the points

c is the intercept.

Substituting the given parameters, we have;

y = -5x + 4
