You made an error.  The last step should be
 
lim (4 + 6*0) / (5 - 9*0) = (4 + 0) / (5 - 0) = 4/5 = 0.8
 
 
If you check with desmos, the graph get closer to y=0.8 as x approaches negative infinity.

Why is it 4/9 ? Its not 4/5??In the denominator , 5-9*0 is just 5 no?

My eyes played a trick on me and I stuck the 9 where the 5 should be!
