The student is not correct.
Absolute value means distance from zero
|-9| = 9
|4| = 4
Since 9 is greater than 4,
|-9| is greater than |4|
In other words, -9 is further from zero then 4
Answer to what? I’m confused lol
Here we use the equation

Taking points (0,4), (1,2)
Substituting the point (0,4) , we will get

Substituting (1,2) we will get

So we have

Therefore , required equation is

Answer:
y = 2x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
y= mx + b
plug in slope
y = 2x + b
plug in points
1 = 2 (5) + b
simplify
1 = 10 + b
subtract 10 each side
-9 = b
plug in to original equation
y=2x - 9
