The equation can be rewritten in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) as:
y = -5x + 1
The graph of y = -5x + 1 is a straight line with a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of 1. Since the given equation Y-4=-5(x-1) can be simplified to y = -5x + 9, the graph will have the same slope and only a different y-intercept. It will be a parallel line to the graph of y = -5x + 1, but shifted upward by 8 units.
Here is the graph:
Show me a graph that represents
Y-4=-5(x-1)
