### Question:
Which equation is the slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (12, 9) and is perpendicular to the graph of \( y = -\frac{3}{4}x + 1 \)?

### Answer Choices:
A. \( y = \frac{4}{3}x - 7 \)
   
B. \( y = -\frac{3}{4}x - 6 \)
   
C. \( y = \frac{4}{3}x - 5 \)
   
D. \( y = -\frac{4}{3}x + 18 \)

#### Instructions:
Review the question carefully and use your knowledge of the slope-intercept form of a line to determine which of the given equations meets the criteria outlined in the question. 

#### Explanation:
To determine the correct equation, consider the following steps:
1. Identify the negative reciprocal of the slope \( -\frac{3}{4} \) because perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.
2. Use the point-slope form \( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \) to substitute the given point (12, 9) and the identified slope.
3. Transform the result into the slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \).

By following these steps, you should be able to determine which of the options A, B, C, or D is correct.
