The slope of the line is 4.5
<h3>How to determine the slope?</h3>The points are given as:
(2,9) and (4, 18)
The slope (m) is calculated using:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
This gives
m = (18 - 9)/(4 -2)
Evaluate
m = 4.5
Hence, the slope of the line is 4.5

Answer:
A. Y = -6X + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for y, we can find the slope of the given line. It is the coefficient of x, 1/6.
-12y = -2x -1
y = 1/6x +1/12
The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this:
m = -1/(1/6) = -6
The y-intercept will be the y-value corresponding to x=0. That value is b=9, given to us by the point the line is to go through. So, we have the slope-intercept form ...
y = mx + b
y = -6x + 9
