At minimum you need two points to determine the equation of a straight line. There isn't enough information to answer the question.
I recommend using Desmos or GeoGebra to plot the point (-8,-9)
GeoGebra is probably the better option for this case.
After plotting that point, plot another point anywhere you want. Call this point B and the first point A.
If point A is fixed or stuck in place, but point B moves wherever it wants, you should see that infinitely many equations are possible for line AB.

Determine the equation of the  linear function that passes through the point (-8,-9).
Write the equation in slope intercept format y=mx+b
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To write " the equation ", EITHER other point should be given in the problem, OR the slope.
Without this additional info, " the equation " can not be determined.
