#y=2x+1#

When given the slope and and a point of the line, you can use point-slope form to find your linear equation.

#y-y_1=m(x-x_1)#

#m# is your slope and #(x_1,y_1)# is your point.

All you have to do is plug in the numbers and simplify the equation.

#y-9=2(x-4)#

#y-9=2x-8#

#y=2x+1#

And there's your answer!
