Explanation

  • Slope-intercept form

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

We have both given slope and y-intercept. We can simply substitute the given slope and y-intercept in slope-intercept form.

  • Substitution

Substitute m = -1 and b = - 5 in the equation.

[tex]y = - 1x - 5 \\ y = - x - 5[/tex]

We don't usually write 1x or -1x instead we write -x or x.

Answer

[tex]y = - x - 5[/tex]
