PLEASE HELP!!! What is the equation of the line perpendicular to 2x – 3y = 13 that passes through the point (–6, 5)?

Answer:

2x + 3y -3=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation of the line is ,

[tex]\implies 2x - 3y = 13 [/tex]

Now convert it into slope intercept form to get the slope , we get ,

[tex]\implies 3y = 2x - 13 \\\\\implies y =\dfrac{2}{3}x -\dfrac{13}{2}[/tex]

Therefore the slope is ,

[tex]\implies m = \dfrac{2}{3} [/tex]

We know that the product of slope of perpendicular lines is -1 . Therefore the slope of the perpendicular line will be ,

[tex]\implies m_{perpendicular}= -\dfrac{2}{3} [/tex]

Now one of the point is (-6,5) .On Using point slope form , we have ,

[tex]\implies y-y_1 = m( x - x_1) \\\\\implies y - 5 = -\dfrac{2}{3}( x + 6 ) \\\\\implies 3y - 15 = -2x -12

\\\\\implies 2x + 3y -15+12=0 \\\\\implies \underline{\underline{ 2x + 3y -3=0 }}[/tex]

Answer:

y = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x – 3y = 13

3y = 2x + 13

y = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]x + [tex]\frac{13}{3}[/tex]

slope = 2/3

negative reciprocal = -3/2

y = -3/2x + b

(-6, 5)

5 = (-3/2)(-6) + b

5 = 9 + b

b = -4

y = -3/2x - 4
