Question

-

y=2/3x + 2 and passes through the point (12, 6).
Find an equation perpendicular to the line
A. y=-3/2x + 21
B. y=-3/2x +24
C. y= 2/3x + 14
D. y= 2/3x + 8

Answer 1

B. y = -3/2x + 24

Explanation:

The perpendicular slope is -3/2x to find the y-intercept use the point given

Plug in

6 = -3/2(12) + b (b = y-intercept)

6 = -18 + b (add 18 on both sides)

24 = b (so)

y = -3/2x + 24
