A line L1 has slope (9/4). The line that passes through which of the following pairs of points is perpendicular to L1?
A.(3,3)and(-6,7)
---
slope = (7-3)/(-6-3) = 4/(-9) = -4/9

When dealing with perpendicular, look for a slope that has the negative inverse. In this case, you are look for a pair of points that has a slope of -4/9.
I'm not going to give you the direct answer for this problem, but I will give you a couple of reminders.
First, the equation for slope is the change in y over the change in x. Second, whatever you get your first "y" you must get your first "x" from.
