Question

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.

(1 point)

y=−5x−1


y=5x+1


y=−5x+1


−5x−y=−1

Answer 1

y = −5x + 1

Slope = (−4 − 1)/(1 − 0) = −5 and y-intercept is 1, so y = −5x + 1.
