1. Write the linear function for the line with slope 4/5 that passes through the point (-10, -9) and graph the function. Please show all of your work. Submit your graph .

Standard form for a straight line: y=mx+b, with m=slope and b=y-intercept
For given problem:
y=(4/5)x+b
finding b using given point (-10,-9)
-9=(4/5)(-10)+b
LCD=5
-45=-40+5b
5b=-5
b=-1
Equation: y=4x/5-1
See graph below as a visual check on the answer.
