The general form for a line through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is
(c-a)(y-b)=(d-b)(x-a)
This is better than the slope forms because it works in the no slope case, as does the standard form.
If you haven't seen it before, it works because when (x,y)=(a,b) we get (c-a)(b-b)=(d-b)(a-a), both sides zero, and when (x,y)=(c,d) we get (c-a)(d-b)=(d-b)(c-a), clearly equal sides.
Here we have
(0 - -5)(y - 0) = (-9 - 0)(x - - 5)
5y = -9(x+5)
5y = -9x - 45
9x + 5y = -45
Ironically there are two standards for standard form; one with the constant alone on the right and one with the whole thing equal to zero. I like the constant alone.
Answer: 9x + 5y = -45
Check:
We check each point is on the line
(-5,0)
9(-5) + 5(0) = -45, good
(0, -9)
9(0) + 5(-9) = -45, good again
For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut point with the y axis.
By definition, if two straight lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. Thus, the slope of the line sought will be 
We substitute the given point to find b:
Finally the line is:
