Question

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

- (-3)
- (-1/3)
- (-2/3)

Answer 1

HI!!

Answer 2

hi!

Answer 3

solve for \(y\) and get \[y=\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}\] a line with slope \(\frac{3}{2}\)

Answer 4

perpendicular line will have a slope that is the "negative reciprocal" i.e. a slope of
\[-\frac{2}{3}\]

Answer 5

thank you so much! that makes perfect sense!:)
