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!!
