Answer 1

WELCOME TO OPENSTUDY!

Answer 2

can you find the slope in 2x+3y=10

Answer 3

-2x/3

Answer 4

ok. so slope is -2/3
what do you know about the slope of the line perpendicular to it?

Answer 5

3/2

Answer 6

Yes.
And you can plug that into the point-slope form

Answer 7

y-y1= m(x-x1)

Where
m=3/2
And (x1,y1)= (1,-3)

Answer 8

thanks
