Question

Which equation is perpendicular to y = 2/3 x - 4?

a. y = -3/2 x + 4
b. y= 2/3 x - 4
c. y = -2/3 x + 4
d. y = 3/2 x - 4

Answer 1

Your answer is A)
`y=-(3)/(2)x-4`

Explanation:

This is because the slope of a perpendicular line is a negative reciprocal in relation to the original line. In this example,
`(2)/(3)` is flipped to
`-(3)/(2)`
