We know that one of the point of our line is (5,-1). Since our second point has the same y-intercept as 
, we are going to solve for x in that line to identify the y-intercept:
Remember that in a line of the form
the intercept is (0,b). From this we can infer that the second point of our line is (0,-2)
Now that we have our two point, we can use the slope formula:
to find the slope of our line:
We can conclude that the slope of our line is, so the correct answer is C.
