Answer:

y = -4/9x

Explanation:

You want the equation of the line through (0, 0) and (9, -4).

Proportion

A line through the point (0, 0) represents a proportion. The slope of the line is the constant of proportionality, the ratio of y to x.

k = y/x = -4/9

The equation of the line is ...

y = kx

y = -4/9x
