A line is perpendicular when M1xM2=-1
( when the first and second gradient together would equal -1)
Knowing this we can rearrange to get M2 (M2=-1/M1)
From this you can determine y intercept and that is it
(Answer is y=-1.5x+14.5)

Answer:

y = 3 $\sqrt{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The two inner right triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{y}{9}$ = $\frac{7}{y}$ ( cross- multiply )

y² = 63 ( take the square root of both sides )

y = $\sqrt{63}$ = $\sqrt{9(7)}$ = $\sqrt{9}$ × $\sqrt{7}$ = 3 $\sqrt{7}$
