Step 1: List the given data


\begin{gathered} m\text{ = }(4)/(3) \\ \text{Coordinates (x}_{1\text{ , }}y_1)\text{ = ( 9, -1 )} \end{gathered}

Step 2: Write the equation of a line formula in a point-slope form


y-y_1=m(x-x_1\text{ )}

Step 3: Substitute all values in the point-slope form equation.


\begin{gathered} y\text{ - (-1) = }(4)/(3)(x\text{ - 9)} \\ y\text{ + 1 = }(4)/(3)(x\text{ - 9)} \end{gathered}

Step 4: Final answer


y\text{ + 1 = }(4)/(3)(\text{ x - 9) Option C}
