Answer:

The answer to your question is Equation y = -4x - 6 Slope -4

Point = (1 , -5)

Explanation:

Data

Point = (1 , -5)

Process

1.- Get another point from the line

-This point is B = (0, -1)

2.- Get the slope of the line

Formula

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

x1 = 1 y1 = -5 x2 = 0 y2 = -1

-Substitution

m = (-1 + 5) / (0 - 1)

-Simplification

m = 4/-1

-Result

m = -4

3.- Find the equation of the line

Formula

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

-Substitution

y + 5 = -4(x - 1)

-Simplification

y + 5 = -4x - 1

-Solve for y

y = -4x - 1 - 5

-Result

y = -4x - 6
