which line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

know the answer is y=-3/2x+2 but how do you get that answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope is displayed for you in the formula it is 2/3 perpendicular slope is the "negative reciprocal" aka -3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are given the y intercept is 2, because you have the point (0,2) on the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

therefore the equation is y = -3/2 x + 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so.... the perpendicular slope is: -3/2 and the y interceot is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is -3/2x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thnx!
