Answer:

y = 3x - 6

Explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. In other words, if you know one slope, flip it and change the sign to find the other slope.

slope f given line: -1/3

flip it to get -3/1 which is the same as -3.

Change the sign to get 3.

The perpendicular line has slope 3.

y = mx + b

y = 3x + b

Use point (5, 9) for x and y and solve for b.

9 = 3(5) + b

9 = 15 + b

b = -6

y = 3x - 6
