find the equation of the line perpendicular to the line 2x+3y=5 at the point (-2,3)
Answered by bobpursley
and your thinking is..?
Answered by Alaina
perpendicular lines have opposite sign and reciprocal slopes from the original line you are given. put the first equation into proper form

y= (-2x/3)+(5/3)

the slope in this case is -2/3

Therefor a perpendicular line will have the slope 3/2.
