29.

The slope of line passing through (0, 0) and (–2, 9) is

m1=y2y1x2x1=9020=92

The line perpendicular to the line having slope m1 will have the slope

m2=1m1=19/2=29

So, the equation of line with slope m2 and passing (x0,y0)=(2,9) is

m2=yy0xx0

29=y9x(2)=y9x+2

2(x+2)=9(y9)

2x+4=9y81

2x9y+4+81=0

2x9y+85=0
