first, we can find the slope from the equation that is given buy solving the equation for y

3x+2y = 6

2y = 6-3x

y = 3-3/2x

y = -3/2x+3

now that the equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily see that the slope of the given line is -3/2

perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so we can just take the negative reciprocal of the slope we have

-3/2 → 3/2 → 2/3

the slope of the perpendicular line is 2/3

hope this helped

Since this equation is already in standard form, there is no need to convert it. Standard form is Ax + By = C. In this equation, 3 = A, 2 = B, and 6 = C. From standard form, Ax + By = C equals negative A over B.

3x + 2y = 6

↓

\displaystyle\ m = -\frac{3}{2}

The slope cannot be simplified any more, so this would be the final answer.

Its a squared + xb squared = c squared  so its 11 squared + 11 squared equals c squared. So I'm gonna take it down to the next step and say 11x11+ 11x11= c squared, then you end up with 121+121= c squared then you add those two and end up with 242= c squared, so then you find the square root of 242 so you should end up with 15.5 and the number goes on and on and on
