slope of perpendicular line is a negative reciprocal of the given line. then substitute the x, y coordinates of a given point and count the y-interseption then post me your answer. i need to help one anther

i dont under stand i swear this is hurting my brain can u explain it in a more simple way pls
Nnesha (nnesha):
ok so what is your slope of this line y = 3/2x + 4 ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i guess
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=-2/3x+b
3=-2/3*-6+b
3-4=b
b=-1 so the answer is y=-2/3x-1

perpendicular line have opposite slope for example if your slope is a/b
then for perpendicular slope flip fraction and change sign like this -b/a

thanks for that can u help with a different question
OpenStudy (anonymous):
pls
Nnesha (nnesha):
i'll try :)
