Answer:

9x- y = 79

Explanation:

Use the formula y - y1 = m (x - x1)

point: (-9,-2) x1= -9 y1= -2

slope: -9

plug everything in y + 2= -9 (x + 9)

simplify y + 2= -9x - 81

move the 2 to the other side y = -9x - 79

move the -9x to the other side -9x + y = -79

multiply the whole thing by -1 to make the x positive

9x - y = 79
