Answer:
(5,1) - First
(0, -5) - Second
To make a linear equation, you have to find the slope and the y intercept.
To start, find the slope.
The value of X decreases by 5 and the value of Y decreases by 6.
This was done by using the slope formula.
Thus the slope is, (dont forget rise over run!)
-[tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex]
Now we have y = - [tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex] + b
Use the slope and input one of the coordinates to solve for b (the y-intercept)
[tex]1 = -\frac{6}{5} (5) + b\\1 = 6 + b\\-5 = b[/tex]
Therefor the linear equation for the line is
y = [tex]-\frac{6}{5} x -5[/tex]
