Absolutely! The equation you're looking for is y=4/3x-13.

Explanation:

Remember that, for slope-intercept form, the formula is

y=mx+b

We know everything except b (m=4/3, x=9, and y=-1), so let's solve for that:

-1=4/3(9)+b
-1=36/3+b
-1=12+b
-13=b

Our final equation is y=4/3x-13.

Hope this helped!!
