Answer:

y = -9x - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a perpendicular line, take the number attached to x from your normal line, flip it, and then switch its sign.

So you have y = 1/9x - 1.

Ignore the -1 here, it does not matter.

1/9 flipped is 9/1, which is 9.

Make it negative.

So the new line will have a slope of -9.

y = -9x + b.

To solve for b, plug in -1 for x and 3 for y.

3 = 9 + b.

So b is going to be -6.
