Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through (–2, 1) and is perpendicular to the line 3x – 2y = 5.
HELP!

anonymous · Answer

first put the original equation in the form of y =mx+b 
m being the slope, and b being the y-intercept

anonymous · Answer

to find perpendicular, the slope would be inverse with one another with different signs

anonymous · Answer

I am not good with slope, that's why I'm asking for help.

anonymous · Answer

I also have 2 more questions, if you could help me with those after this as well?

anonymous · Answer

the slope is already given, you just need to put 3x - 2y =5 in to y = mx+b form, and your slope would be the m in the equation

anonymous · Answer

I don't know how to do that, that's what I'm saying.

|dw:1389040942877:dw| now you have it in the form of y=mx+b
