To find the equation of the line, we first need to determine the slope of the given line \(x - 9y - 4 = 0\). Rearranging this to slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\) gives us: \[ 9y = x - 4 \] \[ y = \frac{1}{9}x - \frac{4}{9} \] The slope of this line is \(\frac{1}{9}\). For a line that is perpendicular to this one, the slope will be the negative reciprocal, which is \(-9\). Now, using the point-slope form of the equation, which is \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\), where \((x_1, y_1)\) is the point through which the line passes, we plug in \((4, -5)\) and the slope \(-9\): \[ y - (-5) = -9(x - 4) \] \[ y + 5 = -9(x - 4) \] Thus, the equation in point-slope form is: \[ y + 5 = -9(x - 4) \] For the general form, we can rearrange this to standard form \(Ax + By + C = 0\): \[ y + 5 = -9x + 36 \] \[ 9x + y - 31 = 0 \] Therefore, your final answers are: Point-slope form: \(y + 5 = -9(x - 4)\) General form: \(9x + y - 31 = 0\)
