The perpendicular line will have the x and y coefficients swapped and one of them negated. We can write the desired line as
9(x -6) -3(y -4) = 0
where the coordinates of the point of interest are (6, 4).
Dividing by 3, this is
3(x -6) -(y -4) = 0
3x -y = 14
An equation for the line of interest is ...
3x -y = 14
9(x -6) -3(y -4) = 0
where the coordinates of the point of interest are (6, 4).
