Plug into the point-slope formula
y - -9 = 4%2F5(x--2)
...
y + 9 = %284%2F5%29x+%2B+%284%2F5%29%282%29
y + 9 = %284%2F5%29x+%2B+8%2F5 --> point-slope form
y = %284%2F5%29x+%2B+%288%2F5%29+-+9
y = %284%2F5%29x+%2B+%288%2F5%29+-+9%288%2F8%29
y = %284%2F5%29x+%2B+%2880%2F8%29
...
highlight_green%28y=%284%2F5%29x%2B10%29 --> slope-intercept form
