Slope intercept form is y=mx+b  because m=slope and b=y-intercept hence "slope intercept form"...

m=deltay/deltax=(0-5)/(-9--6)=-5/-3=5/3 so far we have now:

y=5x/3 +b, using any point, I'll use (-9,0) we can now solve for b or the y-intercept...

0=-9(5)/3 +b

0=-15+b, so b=15 and our line is:

y=5x/3 + 15 or more neatly

y=(5x+45)/3
