Answer:

The answer to your question is: y = -1/9 x - 40/9

Explanation:

Data

A (-4 , -4)

B (5, -5)

Formula

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

y = mx + b

(y - y1) = m(x - x1=

Process

m = (-5 + 4) / (5 + 4)

m = -1 / 9

( y +4) = -1/9 (x + 4)

y + 4 = -1/9 x - 4/9

y = -1/9 x - 4/9 - 4

y = -1/9 x - 4/9 - 36/9

y = -1/9 x - 40/9
