Answer:

y-9=-1(x+3)

Explanation:

The formula for point slope is y2-y1=m(x2-x1). So, we can use the values of the given points to solve the equation for m, or, the slope. We get an equation with the result of 2-9=m(4+3), which gives us the slope as -1. Now, substitute your xy values back in, to get the equation
