7. Find the point on the line y=−6x+9 that is closest to the point (−3,1). ( Hint: Express the square of the distance between the points (-3,1) and (x,y), where (x,y) lies on the line, in terms of x only; then use the derivatives to minimize the function obtained.) Give an exact answer involving fractions; do not round. The methods of analytical geometry do not involve using derivatives and will not be tolerated here, so you will get no points. (10pts)
