what line is perpendicular to y=1.5x+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perpendicular line will be the negative reciprical of the slope from the line y=1.5x+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i meant will have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=mx+b where m is the slope so that slope from ur equation y=1.5x+4 is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope from the given line is 1.5 or 3/2 in fraction form so the neg reciprocal of 3/2 is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's (-2/3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to y=1.5x+4 the b just represents where ur line intersects the y-axis so the perpendicular line can be y=(-2/3)(x)+n where n is any integer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=(-2/3)x+6 y=(-2/3)x-19 etc
