Answer:

x + y = 9

Explanation:

Line is passing through the points (9, 0) and (0, 9)

-> y - intercept (b) = 9

& slope (m) = (9 - 0)/(0 - 9) = 9/(-9) = -1

Equation of line in slope-intercept form is given as:

y = mx + b

Plugging in the values of m and b in the above equation, we find:

y = (-1)x + 9

-> y = -x + 9

-> x + y = 9

This is the required equation of the line

[Note: there are several other points through which line is passing and those points can also be selected for finding the required equation]
