Answer:
y = -x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope formula for a straight line is
y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)
x₁ = -1; y₁ = 5; m = -1 Substitute the values
y – 5 = -1(x + 1) Remove parentheses
y – 5 = -x - 1 Add 5 to each side
y = -x + 4
The graph is a straight line with a y-intercept at y = +4 and a slope = -10/10
= -1.
