The perpendicular line would have a slope of A) -3/2.

Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes.

To do the opposite, take the original slope (2/3) and change the sign (-2/3).

To do the reciprocal, take the slope we changed (-2/3) and flip it as a fraction (-3/2).

This gives us a new slope of -3/2.

Answer:

x = 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 2 = x + 3 + 2

4x - 2 = x + 5

Rearranging the terms, we get,

4x - x = 5 + 2

3x = 7

x = 7/3

Hence, x = 7/3.
