Given: m=4/5,(4,-9)

Via Slope-Intercept Form, y=mx+b

Finding y-intercept "b":

, y-Intercept (0,-61/5)

It follows ---> or
---> , Standard Form (Answer)

To verify, we'll get the intercepts:
Let Fy=0 ---->
--->
, x-Intercept (61/4,0) or (15.25,0)

Let Fx=0 --->
--->
,y-Intercept (0,-61/5) or (0,-12.2)

As we see,

Thank you,
