Line y + 4 = 0 is the horizontal line line y = -4, parallel to x-axis.
Any line parallel to it, has an equation y = c, where "c" is a constant term.
Since the requested line should go through the point (9,-9) with y-coordinate -9,
this requested line has an equation y = -9. ANSWER
This equation is in its slope-intercept form, very unique and specific for this special line.
