Answer:

Explanation:

The easiest way to complete this is too use this data and put it into point-slope form. This is written as, y-y1=m(x-x1)

In this equation y1 is the y- coordinate of your point and x1 is the x-coordinate. M in this case would also be known as the slope.

Now we can submit our data-----

y-4=-5(x-5) -------- simplify

y-4=-5x+25 --------

y=-5x+28
