so your equation is currently in point-slope form; however, to figure out the slope and y-intercept, you'd be better off in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
while in point-slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), you can definitely see the slope as -5, you can't see the y-intercept as easily. x-intercepts are actually the solutions/zeros of a function, and it was included in the answer choices to confuse you.
you're correct about -5 being a decreasing slope. but to figure out the y-intercept, you need to convert to slope-intercept form.
y - 4 = -5(x + 1) ... distribute the -5 y - 4 = -5x - 5 ... add 4 y = -5x - 1
and in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you can see that you have a decreasing slope of -5 and a y-intercept of -1. your correct answer is A. choices C and D were thrown in to distract you and make you think that the -5(x + 1) was somehow related to discovering the x-intercept.

F + 1/3 = 5/6 Find f.
Answers
f + 1/3 = 5/6 f = 5/6 - 1/3 f = 1/2
The answer is: f = 1/2 or f = 0.5.
f=1/2 all you have to do is subtract 1/3 from both sides to get 1/2

Who knows what 5 to the power of 2 i
Answers
if you mean 5^2 and not 5^2i then 5^2 just means 5 times itself,twice or 5 times 5 or 25
if you meant 5^2i i=√-1 so law of exponents says a^(xz)=(a^x)^z so 5^2i=(5^2)^i or (25)^i the answer (if you wanted 5^2i) is 25^i
IF YOU MEANT 5^2 then the answer is 25
25. You just do 5*5 to find out powers! for example, 2 to the power of six is just like 2*2*2*2*2*2 that is 64
Your question's answer is 25. Thank you!
