Answer:

  (3)  11

Step-by-step explanation:

A line perpendicular to one with a slope of -2 will have the opposite reciprocal slope: -1/(-2) = 1/2.

The point-slope equation of the line through (3, 9) with slope 1/2 is ...

  y -9 = 1/2(x -3)

Then for point (7, k) on the line we have ...

  k -9 = 1/2(7 -3)

  k = 9 +2 = 11

The value of k is 11.
