Answer:

y=-1/3x+1

Explanation:

Perpendicular lines have opposite slopes, which means you take the opposite reciprocal of it (flip the fraction and use the opposite sign).

3 written as a fraction is 3/1, so to make it the opposite make it -1/3x

To get the equation of the line, use point slope shown below:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+2=-1/3(x-9)

y+2=-1/3x+3

y=-1/3x+1
