The equation given in the question is

2x - 3y = 6
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get
2/3 x - y = 2
y = 2/3 x - 2
Then, from the above equation we can tell that the slope of the line in the graph is 2/3. The slope of a line perpendicular to this slope will be - 3/2. The line also contains the points (-2,-3). 
Then, the equation of the perpendicular line will be
y = mx + b
- 3 = (- 3/2)(- 2) + b
- 3 = 3 + b
b = - 6
Then
y = (-3/2)x - 6
y + 6 = (- 3/2)x
2y + 12 = - 3x
3x + 2y = - 12

mike drove to a frineds house at the rage of 40 mph. he returned hoke by the dsne route at 45 mph the driving time for the round
wolverine [178]

Let the distance be x miles

Time = Distance / speed

Time taken by Mike to go to his friend's house = x / 40 hours

Time taken by him to return = x / 45 hours

Total time = x / 40 + x / 45 = 4 hours

= 9x + 8x = 1440 miles

17x = 1440

= x = 1440 ÷ 7

= x = 84.706

Time taken to return home = 84.706 /45= 1.882 hours .

Therefore , Mike took 1.882 hours to reach home .
