Answer

$\boxed{y = -5x + 1}$

Steps

Step 1 ：Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form: $y = -5x + 1$

Step 2 ：The slope is $-5$ and the y-intercept is $1$

Step 3 ：Plot the point $(0,1)$ on the graph, which is the y-intercept

Step 4 ：From the y-intercept, move down 5 units and to the right 1 unit to find another point on the line

Step 5 ：Draw a line through the two points to graph the linear function

Step 6 ：$\boxed{y = -5x + 1}$
