Question

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x+2y=6?

A) -2/3 B) 3/2 C) 2/3 D) -3/2

Answer 1

put the formula into y=mx+b form
and you should know that slope = m

Answer 2

2y=3x+6

Answer 3

divide the two out

Answer 4

divide by 3?

Answer 5

m=3/2 B!

Answer 6

first rewrite your equation and identify your slope


if the m is slope, what is your slope?

then you'll have to apply this formula to flip the slope as it is perpendicular
