Question

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2y = 3x - 1?

Answer 1

where are you stuck?

Answer 2

How to get the perpendicular line

Answer 3

ok, what is the slope of 2y = 3x-1?

Answer 4

Slope intercept form?

Answer 5

yes, but just take the slope

Answer 6

Is it 3?

Answer 7

Hint: isolate y

Answer 8

y=3x-1-2

Answer 9

..?

Answer 10

\[y=\dfrac{3x-1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}x-\dfrac{1}{2}\]
ok?

Answer 11

Oh yeah, Thanks dude :-)

Answer 12

not yet!!!!

Answer 13

Yeah IK

Answer 14

that shows the slope of the given line is 3/2
then the slope of the perpendicular line is -2/3

Answer 15

OH I GET IT! Thanks dude, I just had trouble on that one problem
