## anonymous one year ago Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 3/2x + 4 and passes through the point (-6, 3).

Hi again :-)

2. anonymous

can you help me with this one?

3. skullpatrol

that depends on hard YOU want to try...

4. anonymous

ok.

In this question You should know the property that product of slope of two perpendicular line is=-1.

6. anonymous

yeah

8. anonymous

not really

9. skullpatrol

did you make a sketch?

Tell me according to the property, What should be the slope of required line.

12. anonymous

Slope is $\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }$

13. skullpatrol

why ( 4, -2 )? the question gives ( -6, 3 )

14. anonymous

oh thats right i was looking at another question

15. anonymous

ugh

16. skullpatrol

try again :)

Slope of required line is -2/3

m1×m2=-1 m1=3/2 So. m2=-1/m1=-2/3

Once. You get the slope the remaining part is similar to the earlier question.
