See a solution process below:

The point-slope formula states: #(y - color(red)(y_1)) = color(blue)(m)(x - color(red)(x_1))#

Where #color(blue)(m)# is the slope and #(color(red)(x_1, y_1))# is a point the line passes through.

Substituting the slope and values from the point in the problem gives:

#(y - color(red)(-5)) = color(blue)(0)(x - color(red)(9))#

#(y + color(red)(5)) = color(blue)(0)(x - color(red)(9))#
