To write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (\(y = mx + b\)), we need to rearrange the equation given.

Starting with the equation:

\(-5 - y = -1\)

First, isolate \(y\) by adding \(y\) and \(1\) to both sides:

\(-5 = y - 1\)

Now, add \(1\) to both sides:

\(-5 + 1 = y\)

Simplifying gives us:

\(-4 = y\)

We can rearrange this to:

\(y = -4\)

Now we check the answer options provided:

  • \(y = -5z + 1\)
  • \(y = 5z + 1\)
  • \(y = -5z - 1\)

None match \(y = -4\), which indicates there may have been a misunderstanding of the intended variable in your expressions.

Since the original equation was simplified to \(y = -4\), it doesn’t fit in the choices given, which seem to involve variable \(z\).

Since all options seem to deal with another variable and your question also included a misalignment in variables, please clarify or check the initial equation.
