Answer: y = -1x + 5
Explanation:
1. Plug the coordinates into the slope formula (y2 - y1)/ (x2 - x1)
(0 - 6)/ (5 -(-1))
2. Solve for slope
-6/6
= -1
3. Plug the first coordinate and slope into the point slope form equation (y - y1) = slope(x - x1) to find the rest of the equation of the line
(y -(-1)) = -1( x - 6)
4. Solve for y
y + 1 = -1x + 6 -----> y = -1x + 5
