The slope of a perpendicular line to 3x-2y=6 is y=2/3-2

Answer:

y = (-2/3)x + 5

2y=3x-6 Then divide by 2. y=3/2x-6 Now it is in slope-intercept form. The slope for this particular equation is 3/2 (m). The slope of a line that is perpendicular to this would be -2/3, the negative reciprocal of 3/2.
