Step-by-step explanation:
slope of ab=-3+10/7-9=7/-2=-7/2
slope of bc=k+3/0-7=k+3/-7
if two lines are perpendicular then product of their slope is -1
-7/2*k+3/-7=-1
k+3/2=-1
k+3=-2
k=-5
using pythogorus theorem
ab^2+bc^2=ac^2
(7-9)^2+(-3+10)^2+(0-7)^2+(k+3)^2=(0-9)^2+(k+10)^2
4+49+49+(k+3)^2=81+(k+10)^2
102+k^2+6k+9=81+k^2+20k+100
6k+111=20k+181
-14k=70
k=-5
