ANSWER: y = -5x + 14

Explanation:
slope intercept formula is y = mx + b where “m” is the slope. The question provided -5 as the slope.

y = -5x + b

Insert the x,y coordinates provided to find b.
4 = -5(2) + b
4 = -10 + b
14 = b

Now we have the values for the slope-intercept form equation!

y = -5x + 14
