Answer:

The answer to your question is y = -2x + 9

Explanation:

A (9, 9)

B (-2, 13)

Process

1.- Find the slope

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


m = (13 + 9)/(-2 - 9)


m = (22)/(-11)

m = - 2

2.- Find the line equation

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

y + 9 = -2 (x - 9) y + ? = [ ] ( x + [ ])

y + 9 = - 2x + 18

y = - 2x + 18 - 9

y = -2x + 9
