find the equation of the line perpendicular to the line 2x+3y=5 at the point (-2,3)

2 answers

and your thinking is..?
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.
