A) $y = \frac { 1 } { 5 } x + 9$
B) $y = \frac { 1 } { 5 } x + \frac { 5 } { 9 }$
C) $y = \frac { 1 } { 5 } x - 9$
D) $y = \frac { 1 } { 5 } x + \frac { 9 } { 5 }$
E) $y = - \frac { 1 } { 5 } x + 9$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation of a line can be written in slope-intercept form as:

$$y = mx + b$$

where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

We are given that the line passes through the point $(0,9)$, which means that the y-intercept is 9. We are also given that the slope is $m = \frac{1}{5}$. Therefore, the equation of the line is:

$$y = \frac{1}{5}x + 9$$

which is choice A.
