Question

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

y = 2/3x − 10

y = 2/3x + 10

y = −3/2x − 10

y = −3/2x + 10

Answer 1

what is the slope of the line 2x − 3y = 3 ?

Answer 2

2/3 ? @jdoe0001

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

So the answer is the first choice ?

Answer 5

@jdoe0001

Answer 6

so, any line perpendicular to THAT, will have a slope of NEGATIVE RECIPROCAL
that means

reciprocal of 2/3
3/2

negativize that
-3/2

so, the perpendicular line to THAT ONE, will have a slope of -3/2

Answer 7

So the anwser will be the 3 choice ? @jdoe0001

Answer 8

yes
