Answer:

  • graph the y-intercept
  • find another point (down 4, right 9)
  • draw the line through the 2 points

Explanation:

When the equation of a line is given in slope-intercept form, as this one is, it is usually convenient to make use of those values (intercept and slope).

Here, the y-intercept is 6. The slope is -4/9, which means the line goes down 4 units for each 9 units to the right.

The y-intercept is graphed at (0, 6). An additional point can be graphed at (9, 2). Then the line can be drawn through these points.
