“Graph the equation y = -4x + 5 on a coordinate plane. Clearly label the slope and y-intercept on your graph. Additionally, identify and label another point on the line. A line has a slope of ⅗ and crosses the y-axis at (0, -3). Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form and graph it, labeling the slope and y-intercept. Also, find and label another point on the line. ”
