Hi

Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b 

 where m is the slope and b the y-intercept. 

 equation of line with  Slope m = (-5/4) and passes thru Pt(5,-5)    

y = -5/4x + b   |using ordered pair Pt(5,-5) to solve for b

-5 = -25/4 +b

5/4 = b   y = -5/4x 5/4

Note: line slants to the left m < 0
