We know that the line passes through (1,4) and it has a slope of 9.

We use the point-slope formula.


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where,


\begin{gathered} x_1=1 \\ y_1=4 \\ m=9 \end{gathered}

Replacing these values, we have


\begin{gathered} y-4=9(x-1) \\ y-4=9x-9 \\ y=9x-9+4 \\ y=9x-5 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the equation is y = 9x - 5.
