Use the graph to answer the question.
(0, 1)
(1, -4)
Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
First, let's find the slope of the line using the given points (0, 1) and (1, -4).
Slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
Slope = (-4 - 1) / (1 - 0)
Slope = -5 / 1
Slope = -5
Now that we have the slope, we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation to find the equation of the line:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
Using the point (0, 1) as (x₁, y₁):
y - 1 = -5(x - 0)
y - 1 = -5x
Now, let's rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form:
y = -5x + 1
Therefore, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = -5x + 1.
