Answer: y=-5x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The two given points are (-1,4) and (1.-6)

We can then use the slope formula (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) to find the slope

4-(-6)/ -1-1 = 10/-2 = -5

Slope is -5

We then plug the slope in a set of points to find the y intercept

-5*-1+x = 4

5+x=4

x=-1

Then just add these two together to form the equation of y=mx+b

y=-5x-1
