Answer:

y = -1/5x + 1

Explanation:

In these types of problems you want to guesstimate the slope and draw an imaginary solid line amongst the dots. The slope you'll end up with is -1/5 because the graph is decreasing.

and just to check, i typed this into my graphing calculator and can confirm this as the answer. :)
