Explain or define the variable, "b".
9x-Y=9 shows no b.


MAYBE you mean, b as in the typical format for slope-intercept equation y=mx+b.
In this case,
-Y=-9x%2B9
Y=9x-9
and for any line perpendicular, slope is the negative reciprocal of 9;
which will be -1%2F9.

b would be likely what you want as the y-axis (or Y-axis) intercept, so your equation which you are finding is Y=-%281%2F9%29x%2B3.
