Answer:

[tex]\frac{-9}{12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to isolate y.

1. Subtract 12x from both sides.

-9y=-12x+135

2. Divide by -9 in order to isolate y.

[tex]y=\frac{12}{9} x-15[/tex]

3. Understand that perpendicular equations' slopes are opposite and reciprocal to the original equation. The slope of the original equation is [tex]\frac{12}{9}[/tex], so the reciprocal and opposite (flip and change the sign) slope would be [tex]\frac{-9}{12}[/tex].
