Answer 3

So
Slope is \[\frac{ Rise }{ Run }\]
So tell me, what is the rise? the run?

Answer 4

1,-5?

Answer 5

y=-5x because you substitute -5 for y and 1 for x so -5=a(1) and a=-5

Answer 6

So
\[\frac{ -5 }{ 1 }\]
Is the slope, or -5
So, what you would put next to the x is -5

Answer 7

So the equation would look like:
\[y=-5x\]
