What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x +2y = 9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the answer be 3/2 or 2/3

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

do you know what the slope of 3x + 2y = 9 is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope is -3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says the negative reciprocal so would it become positive or would it be 2/3?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

negative reciprocal means you multiply -3/2 by -1 <--so you get +3/2 THEN invert the denominator and numerator so it becomes 2/3 got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thank you :)
