Answer:

y= -3/2x+9

Explanation:

Well we have to know that to find a line perpendicular to a given line, you have to have opposite slopes. So that makes the equation begin as y=-3/2x because it's opposite of y=2/3x. Then we have to make sure it goes through the point (4,3). To do that, I tweaked the numbers in my graphing calculator and it worked with 9! So the equation is y= -3/2x+9
