A line perpendicular to y=2/3x+9 would be y=-3/2x+k where k is any constant.

The slope of y=2/3x+9 is 2/3.

The negative reciprocal of 2/3 is -3/2.

y=-3/2x+k where k is a constant.

k can be any constant, such as 2, 5, or even 65.

y=-3/2x+k would be the answer.

To create a line that is perpendicular to the one given, completely invert the slope.

y = -3/2x + 9

Solve the initial value problem. dy/dt = 1 + 6/t , t > 0, y = 8 when t = 1

nordsb [41]

$\displaystyle\frac{dy}{dt} = 1 + \frac{6}{t}\ \Rightarrow\ dy = \left( 1 + \frac{6}{t}\right) dt\ \Rightarrow\int 1\, dy = \int \left( 1 + \frac{6}{t}\right) dt \ \Rightarrow \\ \\
y = t + 6\ln|t| + C. \text{ But $t\ \textgreater \ 0$ so }y = t + 6\ln t + C. \\ \\ 
y(1) = 8\ \Rightarrow\ 8 = 1 + 6 \ln 1 + C \ \Rightarrow\ C = 7 \text{ so } \\ \\
y(t) = t + 6\ln t + 7$
