Answer 2

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 2x − 3y = 3 and passes through the point (−8, 2).

Answer 3

so the equation of the line tells us that the slope of 2x-3y=3 is:

y= (-3+2x)/3
y= 2/3 x -1

Therefore slope is: 2/3

the slope of the perpendicular line is the Negative Inverse of the line slope, so that would be:

-3/2= m (slope of the perpendicular line)

Therefore the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y= 2/3 x -1, is therefore:


y= -3/2 x -1
