Answer:

D)
y + 1,4 = 1,9(x - 4,5)

Explanation:

According to the Point-Slope Formula,
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), all the negative symbols give you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT signs.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
