If the line is perpendicular, then as a rule the gradient of the perpendicular line will be the negative inverse of the gradient of the line given.
Therefore the gradient of the perpendicular line would be 1/2
so now just substitute in the equation of a line (y=mx+c) where y and x are given by -3 and 9, and your new m=1/2
Hope this helps

Use the law of cosines to solve for the measure of the largest angle in triangle abc.

MariettaO [177]

The law used for determining the measure of unknown sides and angles of a triangle. The measure of the largest angle in triangle abc is 98.25 degrees

<h3>Law of cosines</h3>

The law used for determining the measure of unknown sides and angles of a triangle. It is expressed as:

c² = a² + b² - 2abcosC

Given the following

c = 16

a = 12

b = 9

Substitute

16² = 12² + 9² - 2(9)(12)cosC

256 = 144 + 81 - 216cosC

31 = -216cosC

cosC = -31/216

C = 98.25 degrees

Hence the measure of the largest angle in triangle abc is 98.25 degrees
