Answer 1

y = -4x - 9

Explanation:

Answer 2

y = -4x - 9

Explanation:

First, I plotted the dots (0, -9) and (-1, -5). I then drew a line connecting these two points. Since -9 touches the y-axis that is the y-intercept. Starting at the point (-1, -5), I went down four and one square to the right. This means that my slope is -4, thus the equation y = -4x - 9
