1. Find the slope (m) using the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (-4 - 1) / (1 - 0)
m = -5 / 1
m = -5
2. Use the point-slope form of a linear equation to find the equation of the line:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Using the point (0,1):
y - 1 = -5(x - 0)
y - 1 = -5x
3. Rearrange the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):
y = -5x + 1
Therefore, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = -5x + 1.
Dertive the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. (0,1) and (1,-4)
