Answer: [tex]y + 1 = -\frac{4}{5}(x - 5)\\[/tex]
=========================================
Work Shown:
m = -4/5 is the slope
(x1,y1) = (5,-1) is the point the line goes through
Plug those into the Point Slope form equation below. Simplify.
[tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\\\y - (-1) = -\frac{4}{5}(x - 5)\\\\y + 1 = -\frac{4}{5}(x - 5)\\[/tex]
