An x-intercept of 6 and a y-intercept of -24
These are the points ( 6,0 ) and ( 0, -24 )
The slope is [ change in y ] / [ change in x ]



--------------
Any line perpendicular to this line will
have slope =
---------------------------
Given the point ( -9,4 ), use the general
point-slope formula




----------------------
check answer:
Does it go through ( -9,4 ) ?




OK
Here are plots of the lines:
