Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:    -3/2


Discussion:  Assuming neither line is vertical or horizontal the product of the slopes of two perpendicular  lines is always -1.  We are told the slope of a line is 2/3. The slope of the perpendicular line, "m", is


m * (2/3) = -1

or

m= -3/2

Thank you,

MrB
