Answer: y=-5x-4

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

Since m represents slope you will plug in -5 because that is your slope.

Since b represents the y-intercept, you will plug in -4 after y=-5x

so therefore your equation is y=-5x-4

Tried my best to explain...

Answer:


\huge\boxed{y = -5x - 4}

Write an equation in the format y = mx + b, or the slope-intercept formula, where:

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Plug in the values given:

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

Simplify:

y = -5x - 4. This is the equation in slope-intercept form.
