    y = (-2/5) x - 8/5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Start with the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

    Replace m with - 2/5, y with 2 and x with - 9:

    2 = (-2/5) (-9) + b

    Simplifying this, we get:

    2 = 18/5 + b, or 10/5 = 18/5 + b

    Subtracting 18/5 from both sides yields b = - 8/5, and so

    the desired equation is

    y = (-2/5) x - 8/5
