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

Question

anonymous · Answer

the product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1
So you know the slope of given line, find the slope of its perpendicular line and use
y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Hint: m1*m2 = -1

anonymous · Answer

can you work this one out I work better when I have examples and I have more questions I have to do. Please

anonymous · Answer

slope of give line = -a/b 
              i.e m=2/3

 therefore slope of perpndicular on the given line is = -3/2  passing through (-8,2).

   Now apply slope-point form.
