Answer: y=-1/5x+4

Step-by-step explanation: use the equation y=mx+b (x,y)->(5,3) 5 is an x value and 3 is a y value so you want to plug in these values into the equation. 3=-1/5(5)+b. We already know our slope so just plug it into m. Now multiply -1/5 and 5 which is -1. 3=-1+b you want to isolate b so you can find the intercept. Add one to both sides so it cancels out. 4=b we found our y-intercept so we can write the equation now. y=-1/5x+4
