Reverse coefficients at x and y and change the sign one time. (It is the way how to construct the equation of perpendicular line). You will get the equation 8x - 6y = c. (1) Now find the constant "c" under the condition that the coordinates of the "through" point satisfy the equation (1). Simply substitute x = 4 and y = 9 into this equation (1) and find c = 8*4 - 6*9 = 32 - 54 = -22. Answer. The equation is 8x - 6y = -22.
