Answer:
y = (3/2)x - 5/2
Step-by-step explanation: 5 + 2x
-2x-3y=5, solved for y, is y = ------------- , with a slope of -2/3. A line
-3
perpendicular to this one has a slope which is the negative reciprocal of -2/3, that is, +3/2. Using the slope-intercept formula, we calculate the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the given one and passes through (1/3, -2): y = mx + b => -2 = (3/2)(1/3) + b, or
-2 = 1/2 + b. Thus, b must be -2 1/2, or -5/2.
The desired equation is y = (3/2)x - 5/2.
