Answer:
y = -5x + 4
Explanation:
In the equation y = mx + b , m stands for slope and b stands for the y intercept. In the coordinates (-1,4) the y value is 4 meaning that it's your y-intercept. The slope is already given to you so just add the X.
y = -5x - 1
Since you have the slope and a given point you can use the point-slope formula to solve for the y-intercept formula.
Point slope formula = y - y = m(x - x)
m = -5 (-1, 4)
y - 4 = -5(x +1)
y - 4 = -5x - 5
