Answer:

y = 3/2x + 6

Explanation:

Equation of the given line

  • slope = rise/run = -2/3
  • y-intercept = (0, -2)
  • Equation is y = -2/3x - 2

Perpendicular

  • Slope is the negative reciprocal
  • m ⇒ -(1/[-2/3]) = 3/2
  • Intersection point is (-2, 3)

Using Point-slope equation

  • y - 3 = 3/2 (x + 2)
  • y - 3 = 3/2x + 3
  • y = 3/2x + 6
