Question

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2y = 3x - 1? -3 - -

Answer 1

Answer: 2/3x

Explanation:

First, you need to simplify your original line to point slope formula. Dividing the whole thing by 2 to get y by itself leaves you with

y = 3/2x - 1/2

Any perpendicular line has the opposite slope to the line it is perpendicular to, so you flip the slope to get 2/3x
