A. In order to find the equation, first we need to find the slope
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]m is the slope
(-4, -1)=(x1,y1)
(-9,-5)=(x2,y2)
we substitute the values
[tex]m=\frac{-5+1}{-9+4}=\frac{-4}{-5}=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]then we use the point-slope form
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]we substitute the values
[tex]y+1=\frac{4}{5}(x+4)[/tex]B. in order to find the slope-intercept form we need to isolate the y
[tex]y=\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{11}{5}[/tex]C. if the y coordinate is 7
[tex]7=\frac{4}{5}(x)+\frac{11}{5}[/tex]then we isolate the x
[tex]\frac{4}{5}x=7-\frac{11}{5}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{5}x=\frac{24}{5} \\ x=\frac{5\cdot24}{5\cdot4} \\ x=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]the value of the x-coordinate is 6 when the y-coordinate is 7
