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
