Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"point-slope form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y-b=m(x-a)#
#"where m is the slope and "(a,b)" a point on the line"#
#"here "m=4/3" and "(a,b)=(9,-1)#
#"substitute these values into the equation"#
#y-(-1)=4/3(x-9)#
#y+1=4/3(x-9)larrcolor(red)"in point-slope form"#
