Your equation is not complete.
6x + = 9?
Sorry, I'm stressing badly. The equation is (6,7);6x+y=9. Thank you kindly.
(6,7);6x+y=9.

y = mx + b
6x + y = 9
y = -6x + 9
m = -6

m1*m2 = -1
-6*m2 = -1
m2 = 1/6

So, the slope of the perpendicular line is 1/6.
y = 1/6 x + b

Now find b with point (6,7).
y = 1/6 x + b
7 = 1/6 (6) + b
7 = 6/6 + b
7 = 1 + b
b = 6

y = 1/6 x + b
y = 1/6 x + 6
Was ist der dritte Teil von x?
Stefanie, I need to turn in my homework today and i still need to solve this problem, can you please help me?(4,-8); 2x+5y=4

Thank you for your understanding.
