Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

To graph y = -5x + 1 we must move 1 unit up and 5 units down plus a unit to the right

Since the slope is negative, therefore, we move down 5 units

Since the y-intercept is positive 1 then we move 1 unit up

Important Note: Start by the y-intercept first, then the slope

Graph the line. y = -5x + 1-example-1
