Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

y =
(2)/(3) x + 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m =
(2)/(3)

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is


m_(perpendicular) = -
(1)/(m) = -
(1)/((2)/(3) ) = -
(3)/(2)

His error was in missing the negative sign from
(3)/(2)
