Answer:

y = -0.4x - 3

Explanation:

Using the slope formula, y2-y1/x2-x1 we need to find two points. Luckily, we already have two points, (5, -5) and (-5, -1). Plugging in, we have -4/10, or -0.4. Since now we know m = -0.4, we need to find the y-intercept. We have it as -3. Now we get y = -0.4x - 3 as our equation.
