Line g has an equation of y = -9x - 9. Perpendicular to line g is line h, which passes

through the point (9,-5). What is the equation of line h?

Write the equation in slope-intercept form. Write the numbers in the equation as proper fractions, improper fractions, or integers.

Answer:

y=1/9x - 6

Explanation:

perpendicular lines have slops that are the negative reciprocal of one another. After you find the slope you then plug in the point to find b using the equation: -5=1/9(9) + b .
