**Question 5: Given the line pictured below, which of the following could be its equation?**

Graph description:
- The graph features a red line that slopes downward from left to right, crossing through the first and third quadrants.
- The line intersects the y-axis above the origin, indicating a negative slope.

Possible equations:
- \( \text{a) } y = 2x + 5 \)
- \( \text{b) } y = x - 6 \)
- \( \text{c) } y = -2x - 5 \)
- \( \text{d) } y = -x + 6 \)

Select the equation that matches the slope and intercept of the line depicted.
