first off, let's convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then proceed, let's notice that by PEMDAS or order of operations, the multiplication is done first, and then any sums.
To find the rate of change, or slope, pick two points. The slope, is change in y coordinates over change in x coordinates.
.
In this case, the slope is
.
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
In this case, the slope is
