Answer:

y = -2x+9

Explanation:

We first need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (9-5)/(0-2)

= 4/-2

= -2

We will use the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y =-2x+b

We know that 9 is the y intercept since x is equal to zero

y = -2x+9
