Which equation describes the line above?
A. y= -4x-5
B. y= -1/5x-4
C. y= -5x-4
D. y= -4x-1/5

Answer:
y = -1/5x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the y intercept is -4 since it crosses the y axis at -4
The slope is negative since it goes down from left to right
Take two points on the line
(0,-4) and (5,-5)
We can find the slope using the slope formula
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= ( -5- -4)/( 5 -0)
= (-5+4)/ ( 5-0)
= -1/5
The equation for the line in slope intercept form is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = -1/5x -4
