C) state the point of intersection
D)solve the equations simultaneously to confirm your answer
E) what is the equation of this line?

Standard form of a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
For given problem:
m=4
y=4x+b
plug in given (0,-9) coordinates to find b
-9=4*0+b
b=-9
Equation of line: y=4x-9
Point of intersection
sub y for x
y=4y-9
3y=9
y=3
x=3
..
