The equation y = −5x + 1 is a straight line with:
- slope m = −5 (so the line falls 5 units for every 1 unit you move to the right — it is decreasing),
- y-intercept (0, 1) (it crosses the y-axis at 1),
- x-intercept found from 0 = −5x + 1 → x = 1/5, so it crosses the x-axis at (1/5, 0).
Any correct statement should say one or more of those facts (e.g., “slope −5,” “y-intercept 1,” “line decreases,” or “x-intercept 1/5”). If you paste the answer choices, I’ll pick the correct one.
