Answer:

Explanation:

The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. Let line x represent the original line and let line y represent the line that is perpendicular to line x

A conditional statement is an if - then statement. It is connected by a hypothesis statement and a conclusion statement. The hypothesis statement is "if the slope of line x is 2/3 and the slope of line y is -3/2 which is its negative reciprocal

The conclusion statement is " then, line x is perpendicular to line y

So the combined statement is

if the slope of line x is 2/3 and the slope of line y is -3/2 which is its negative reciprocal, then line x is perpendicular to line y
