Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -3/2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, start by finding the slope of the original line. You can do this by solving for y.

2x - 3y = 12

-3y = -2x + 12

y = 2/3x - 4

Now that we have a slope of 2/3, we know that the perpendicular slope is -3/2 (since perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes). We can use this and the new point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = -3/2(x - 2)

y - 6 = -3/2x + 3

y = -3/2x + 9

-5(3t-5)+7t=8t-6 solve.
saw5 [17]
<span>-5(3t-5)+7t=8t-6
-15t + 25 + 7t = 8t - 6
-15t + 7t - 8t = -6 - 25
-16t = -31
16t = 31
t = 31/16 = 1.9375</span>
