Answer:

The answer is -1/9

Explanation:

The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal.

To find the slope you take the given slope (9) and flip the reciprocal which results it turning into 1/9.

Then make it the opposite value. Like switching a negative to a positive or a positive to a negative. For this case, you make 1/9 into a -1/9
