Answer:

y = -3/2x - 1

Explanation:

this line 2x-3y=9 can be rewritten as

y = 2/3x - 3

The slope of this line is 2/3

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes satisfy condition

m1 . m2 = -1

Thus, the slope of the needed line is

m = -3/2

The equation of the line passing through the point (2,-4) and perpendicular to the line 2x-3y=9 is

y + 4 = 3/2 (x - 2)

y = -3/2 x - 1
