Answer:

y=5x+4

Explanation:

First get slope:

(4-9)/(0-1) = -5/-1 = 5

The y-intercept is where the graph hits the y-axis. That is also the point on the graph where x = 0. We are already given that, with point (0,4).

The y-intercept is 4.

y = mx +b, m is slope and b is the intercept.

y = 5x +4
