The equation of the line perpendicular to the given line that contains point $ A $ is:
$ \color{blue}{ 7x-9y-9=0 }$ ( General form )
$ \color{blue}{ y = \frac{ 7 }{ 9 } x - 1 } ~~~$ ( Slope y-intercept form )
Step 1:The slope of a given line is $ m = -\frac{ 9 }{ 7 } $.
Step 2: The perpendicular slope ($ m_1 $) is negative reciprocal of the slope $ m $.
$$ m_1 = - \frac{1}{m} = -\frac{ 1 }{ -\frac{ 9 }{ 7 } } = \frac{ 7 }{ 9 } $$So the perpendicular line will have a slope of $ m_1 = \frac{ 7 }{ 9 } $
Step 3: Now we have a point and the slope so we can use point-slope form, which is:
$$ y - y_0 = m_1 (x - x_0) $$In this example we have: $ m_1 = \frac{ 7 }{ 9 } $ , $ x_0 = 9 $ and $ y_0 = 6 $. After substitution we have:
$$ \begin{aligned} y - y_0 =& ~ m_1 (x - x_0) \\ y - 6 =& ~ \frac{ 7 }{ 9 } ( x - 9) \\y -6 =& ~ \frac{ 7 }{ 9 } x -7 \\y =& ~ \frac{ 7 }{ 9 } x -7 + 6 \\y =& ~ \frac{ 7 }{ 9 } x - 1\\ \end{aligned} $$
