The line of the equation would be y = -1/4x + 11/16.
In order to find that, we'll put the ordered pair and the slope into slope intercept form. Then we can solve for the intercept.
y = mx + b
1 = -1/4(-5/4) + b
1 = 5/16 + b
11/16 = b
So then we put that in the equation with slope for the final equation.
Since the plot of "The Wife of Bath's Tale" has at its heart a loathly lady who shape-shifts into a beautiful, young damsel, we might expect appearances to be important here. And they are, just not for the reason you might think. For instead of this being a tale about how a knight learns to appreciate people for what's on the inside and that outer appearances don't matter, it's a tale about how a knight learns to give up sovereignty to his wife. That sovereignty includes power over the body. The loathly lady's physical appearance becomes an important symbol of that body, so that, at the end of the tale, when she offers her husband a choice about how he wants her to look, she's in essence offering him control of her body. He grants this control back to her, thus proving his understanding of the doctrine of women's sovereignty in marriage. Medieval stories don't necessarily go in for the whole 'appearances don't mean anything' maxim anyway, as we've seen in the "General Prologue<span>."</span>
Because if there is no more supplies for the sale, the sale can't apply to nothing!
