Answer:
y-4=-(1)/(2) (x-6)

Explanation:

The point-slope form is y-y₁=m(x-x₁). y₁ and x₁ are from a point, and m is slope.

To find slope, we use the formula
m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1).


m=(4-9)/(6-(-4))=(-5)/(10)=-(1)/(2)

Now that we have the slope, we can fill in our point-slope form equation.


y-4=-(1)/(2) (x-6)
