Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x-axis ranging from negative 9 to 9 and the y-axis ranging from negative 11 to 11 in increments of 1. A solid downward line with arrows at both ends is plotted on the graph. The line passes through the plotted points left parenthesis 0 comma 1 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 1 comma negative 4 right parenthesis.
Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

To determine the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we first need to find the slope (m) of the line using the two given points: (0, 1) and (1, -4).
1. **Calculate the slope (m)**:
The formula for the slope (m) between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is:
\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]
Substitute \((x_1, y_1) = (0, 1)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (1, -4)\):
\[
m = \frac{-4 - 1}{1 - 0} = \frac{-5}{1} = -5
\]
2. **Use the slope-intercept form**:
Now we know the slope \(m = -5\). Next, we need to find the y-intercept (b). When \(x = 0\), \(y\) is 1 (the y-coordinate of the point (0, 1)), so:
\[
b = 1
\]
3. **Write the equation in slope-intercept form**:
Now we can write the equation of the line:
\[
y = -5x + 1
\]
So, the correct response that matches this equation from the provided options is:
**y = -5x + 1**
1. **Calculate the slope (m)**:
The formula for the slope (m) between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is:
\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]
Substitute \((x_1, y_1) = (0, 1)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (1, -4)\):
\[
m = \frac{-4 - 1}{1 - 0} = \frac{-5}{1} = -5
\]

Now we know the slope \(m = -5\). Next, we need to find the y-intercept (b). When \(x = 0\), \(y\) is 1 (the y-coordinate of the point (0, 1)), so:
