Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point.

y= 2/3 x + 9; (-6, 5)

Answer:

[tex]y = -1\frac{1}{2}x - 4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = −1½[−6] + b

9

[tex]-4 = b \\ \\ y = -1\frac{1}{2}x - 4[/tex]

Perpendicular Lines have OPPOSITE MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE RATE OF CHANGES [SLOPES], so ⅔ becomes −3⁄2 [or −1½].
