Answer:
y - 9 = -5(x + 4)
General Formulas and Concepts:
Algebra I
Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
- x₁ - x coordinate
- y₁ - y coordinate
- m - slope
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Slope m = -5
Coordinate (-4, 9) → x₁ = -4, y₁ = 9
Step 2: Write Function
Substitute into general form.
y - 9 = -5(x - -4)
y - 9 = -5(x + 4)
