First, convert the equations to y=mx+b format. This makes everything easier.

anonymous · Answer

Okay ...

anonymous · Answer

is it no :s ?

anonymous · Answer

Are you actually trying to figure it out, or are you just making people tell you the answers

anonymous · Answer

I actually tried ://// math isn't easy for me I guess I'm just that dumb.

anonymous · Answer

y=3x/2 -3
y=-2x/3+2

anonymous · Answer

perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative inverses of each other

anonymous · Answer

So if a line has a slope of 3x/2, then a line that is perpendicular to it has a slope of -2x/3

anonymous · Answer

(hint hint)

anonymous · Answer

Oh okay its yes :D

anonymous · Answer

:B ...

anonymous · Answer

Do you understand what makes lines perpendicular?

anonymous · Answer

To make a line perpendicular to that line you have to take the "negative recipricol" of the first slope.

anonymous · Answer

Yep you got it! Have fun with the rest of your homework
