perpendicular y= 2/3 x

perpendicular

y = \frac{2}{3} x

y = - \frac{3}{2} x + b

Solution steps

Find the slope of

y = \frac{2}{3} x : m = \frac{2}{3}

Compute the slope of the perpendicular line:

m_{p} = - \frac{3}{2}

Line with slope m=

- \frac{3}{2} : y = - \frac{3}{2} x + b

y = - \frac{3}{2} x + b
