Identify the slope and y-intercept of the graph of the equation. then graph the equation. y= -5/4x+1

Y=mx+b
M=slope
B=y intercept
Therefore slope=-5/4
And y intercept=1
Hope this helps!

The slope = -5/4
The y-intercept = +1 (pay attention to the positives and the negatives)

To graph, start at the point (0, 1)

Then (sense slope is essentially rise over run), you go down 5 units (sense its a negative 5) and 4 units to the right.

Your next point would be (4, -4)

Next, draw a straight line , connecting the two points and beyond.

Hope this helps!!
