    Answer: y = - 4x + 1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    (-1,5) (1,-3)

    5 - (-3) = 8

    -1-1=-2

    8/-2=-4 negative 4 is the slope. Now find the y-intercept using the formula y=mx + b where b is the y intercept.

    so we will plot the y and x values plus the slope to find the y-intercept.

    5=-4 (-1) + b solve for b

    5=4 + b

    b=1

    so now will write the equation y = - 4x + 1
