You could start from definition for slope of a line.

That is, for two points (x,y) and (-1,-5), vertical change divided by horizontal change is supposed to be 9.

Now put this into the form that you need.

Do you understand THIS?
If you do, then simplify it and put it into the form that you need!! Simple Algebra.

<======= Point slope form of a linear equation
y - - 5 = 9(x - - 1) -------- Substituting , and 9 for m (slope)
y + 5 = 9(x + 1)
y + 5 = 9x + 9
y = 9x + 9 - 5 ======>
