Step-by-step explanation:

gradient(m)=change in y/change in x

=5-1/-9-(-4)

=4/-9+4

=4/-5

equation now

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-1=4/-5[x-(-4)]

y=4/-5(x+4)+1

y=-4/5x-16/5+1

y=-4/5x-21/5

SDCInfinity

Answer:

y = -4/5x - 11/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope using the slope formula.

[tex]m=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\\\\m=\frac{1-5}{-4-(-9)}\\\\m=-\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Then, use the point-slope formula and substitute the values for the variables. I'll use (-4, 1) in this instance.

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\y-1=-\frac{4}{5}(x+4)\\\\y-1=-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{16}{5}\\\\y=-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{11}{5}[/tex]
