Answer:

y = -6/19x - 2

Explanation:

First we need to find the slope and we can do that by using slope-intercept form [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ].

-2-4/10-(-9)

-6/19

Second we can find the y-intercept using slope intercept form [ y = mx + b], the slope, and a given point.

y = -6/19x + b

4 = -6/19(-9) + b

4 = 54/19 + b

-2 = b

Third we will input all the data we solved for back into the formula.

y = -6/19x - 2

Best of Luck!
