All sides of an equilateral triangle are equal, so all three sides are 9 cm.
To find h, use the pythagorean theorem. This requires use of only one right triangle, where we use b as our h.

a^2+b^2=c^2
(4.5)^2+b^2=(9)^2
(20.25)+b^2=(81)
b^2=(81/20.25) or 4
square root both sides
b=2

Find the equation in standard form of the line with slope

Serhud [2]

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ 7}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{7}{2}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-7=\cfrac{7}{2}(x-5)\implies y-7=\cfrac{7}{2}x-\cfrac{35}{2}
\\\\\\
y=\cfrac{7}{2}x-\cfrac{35}{2}+7\implies \stackrel{standard~form}{-\cfrac{7}{2}x+y=-\cfrac{21}{2}}$
