Is it 1?
You clearly have a typo. I suspect that the give line is y = 1/5 x + 4/5
the given line has slope 1/5
so, you want a line with slope -5 that goes through (1,1)
So, its equation is y-1 = -5 (x-1)
y = -5x + 6
So it appears you are correct.

Learn to type in fractions; cut and paste does not always work well here.
the answer is y=-5x+6 i just took the test
k is right
k is right. Just telling you for reassurance
