Answer:

          y = - x  

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation is y - y₀ = m(x - x₀), where (x₀, y₀) is any point the line passes through and m is the slope:

m = -1

(-5, 5)    ⇒   x₀ = -5,  y₀ = 5

The point-slope form of the equation:

y - 5 = -1(x + 5)

So:

y - 5 = -x - 5         {add 5 to both sides}

y = -x             ←  the slope-intercept form of the equation
