Answer:
-3 - 1 = 4/9(-5 - 4)
Step-by-step Explanation:
Point-Slope form uses the formula y-y1=m(x-x1).
m is the slope, which they gave you, so you can substitute it into the formula:
y - y1 = 4/9(x - x1).
They also gave you a first point (-5, -3) So you can substitute the x and y of those into the formula as well.
-3 - y1 = 4/9(-5 - x1)
y1 and x1 are for another point. By drawing a graph and then using the rise and run of the slope (up 4 and over 9), you can get another point (as shown in the picture).
Substitute the x and y values of that point into the equation as well and you have your answer:
-3 - 1 = 4/9(-5 - 4)
