Answer :

Answer:

y = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x + 1 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{-\frac{3}{4} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] , thus

y = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (9, 12) into the partial equation

12 = 12 + c ⇒ c = 12 - 12 = 0

y = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x + 0 , which simplifies to

y = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x
