Question

What is an equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line whos equation is 2y+3x=1

Answer 1

$\text{First, simplify the equation into slope intercept form:}\\\\2y+3x=1\\\\2y=-3x+1\\\\\text{Divide by 2}\\\\y=-\frac{3}{2}x+1\\\\\text{Now, the perpendicular line is the opposite of the slope, and the opposite}\\\text{value}\\\\\text{Since our original equation is negative, the perpendicular lien will be positive}\\\\\text{And then you would just flip the fraction}\\\\\text{Your perpendicular line should be:}\\\\\boxed{y=\frac{2}{3}x+1}$
