Answer:

y = - x + 9

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 0) ← 2 points on the line

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

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 9) ⇒ c = 9

y = - x + 9 ← equation of line
