y = mx+b ... Start with the general equation in slope intercept form

Note: m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

y = -4x + 9 ... Plug in the given slope m = -4 and the given y-intercept b = 9

So the answer is y+=+-4x%2B9

-------
y = mx + b
m is the slope = -4
b is the y-intercept = 9
-------
y = -4x + 9
