Answer:

Equation: I believe its y=5/3x-13

Explanation:

In the "y=5/3x+9" equation, 5/3 is the slope. You then take the slope (5/3) and the points (9,2) and add it to the equation "y+y1=m(x-x1)":

y-y1=m(x-x1)

distribute 5/3: y-2=5/3(x-9)

y-2=5/3x-45/3

y-2=5/3x-15

-add 2 on both sides-

y=5/3x-13

I might be wrong- but its worth a try ;-;
