Question

The equation of a line XY is (y-3)=3/2(x-4) what is the slope of the line perpendicular to XY?

Answer 1

Answer: -2/3

Explanation:

I wrote the equation y-3=3/2(x-4) in slope-intercept form. It's y=3/2x-5, so the slope is 3/2.

To find the perpendicular slope, I found the opposite reciprocal. The reciprocal of 3/2 is 2/3 and the opposite of 2/3 is -2/3

Answer 2

It must be 3/2.........
