S = sum of the interior angles
n = number of sides

S = 1440 is given. Let's solve for n.

S = 180*(n-2)
1440 = 180*(n-2)
1440/180 = 180*(n-2)/180
8 = n-2
8+2 = n-2+2
10 = n
n = 10

There are 10 sides. This is a decagon.

To find the rate of change, or slope, pick two points. The slope, is change in y coordinates over change in x coordinates.
$slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ .

In this case, the slope is
$\frac{-11+1}{2-0} = \frac{-10}{2} = -5$ .
Remember that subtracting a negative number equals adding the number without the negative sign.
a-(-b) = a+b

Now for the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the graph intersects the y-axis, where x = 0.
You have the coordinate (0, -1), where x = 0. So the y-intercept is -1.

Putting these values into the slope-intercept form y = mx+b, the equation is
y = -5x - 1
