Answer:

  y +1 = -5(x -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the point-slope equation of the line with slope -5 through point (4, -1).

Point-slope equation

The point-slope equation of a line has the form ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Application

Substituting m=-5 and (h, k) = (4, -1), the equation is ...

  y -(-1) = -5(x -4) . . . . . . values substituted

  y +1 = -5(x -4) . . . . . . . simplified a bit
