5 0

(-4,5),(0,6)

slope = rise/run
tip... you have to crawl (run) before you run (rise) .

you can use the slope formula
$\frac{5 - 6}{ - 4 - 0} = \frac{ - 1}{ - 4} = \frac{1}{4}$
1/4

$-0.2(x-20)=44-x\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\-0.2x+4=44-x\qquad\text{subtract 4 from both sides}\\\\-0.2x=40-x\qquad\text{add x to both sides}\\\\0.8x=40\qquad\text{divide both sides by 0.8}\\\\x=\dfrac{40}{0.8}\\\\x=\dfrac{400}{8}\\\\\boxed{x=50}$
