Hey there! :)

Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

A perpendicular line to 2/3 will be the reciprocal and negative of this fraction. Therefore:

Slope of perpendicular line = -3/2.

Remember, the equation for solving for the slope is:


m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

We must find points that when plugged into this equation, equal to -3/2.

Plugging in the points in option A:


(2)/(3) \\eq (-3)/(2)

Option B:


(3)/(4) \\eq (-3)/(2)

Option C: This is the correct answer.


(-3)/(2) = (-3)/(2)

Option D:


(2)/(10)\\eq (-3)/(2)
