Answer :

Answer:

y - 9 = -3/2 (x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of line: 4x - 6y - 15 = 0

Equation of perpendicular line: bx - ay + k = 0

                                                 = -6x - 4y + k = 0 → (equation 1)

Since the equation passes through (6,9)

-6(6) - 4(9) + k = 0

-36 -36 + k = 0

-72 + k = 0

k = 72

Substituting the value of in equation 1,

∴ Equation of perpendicular line = -6x -4y + 72 = 0

dividing by -2,

3x + 2y - 36 = 0

This equation is the simplified version of Option 1.

                                                   

y - 9 = -3/2 (x - 6)

y - 9 = (-3x + 18)/2

2y - 18 = -3x + 18

3x + 2y - 36 = 0
