Question

Given the line 2x - 3y - 5 = 0, find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this line.

Answer 1

2x - 3y - 5 = 0
3y = 2x - 5
  y = 2/3 x - 5/3 so this line has slope = 2/3
perpendicular lines, slope is opposite and reciprocal
so slope = -3/2

answer
-3/2

Answer 2

The Slope of "2x - 3y - 5 = 0" is:

m = 2/3.

Use the mx+y formula to solve this question.  

The correct answer is: B
