Question

Find the perpendicular slope

3x + 2y=-7 (1,1)

Use slope intercept form please!!!

Answer 1

Okay, so you have to get the y alone. Subtract "3x" from each side:
3x + 2y = -7
-3x -3x
And it will look like:
2y = -3x - 7
You have to divide by 2 because remember: "Get the y alone"
2y divided by 2 is of course 1.
-3 divided by 2 would have to turn into -3/2x
-7 divided by 2 turns into -7/2

*Perpendicular slopes have a negative reciprocal slope. So -3/2 turns into 2/3

Thank you so much!!
