This is in slope intercept form, #y=mx+b#, where #m# is the slope and #b# is the #y# -intercept .

The slope is #-1.25#.

The #y#-intercept is #6#.

Convert the slope to an improper fraction.

#-1.25=-1 25/100=-125/100=-5/4=(rise)/(run)=slope#

The first point should be placed on (0,6).

From that point ...

rise up #5# units
move left #4# units
