Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know, when lines are perpendicular that they share the same slope. The slope in the equation of y = 2/3x + 7 is 2/3x. So, we have our slope. Now, we just need to find our b. We plug in the point that you gave us into the equation y = mx + b.

3 = 2/3(2) + b

we multiply the denominator 3 by 2, then divide that by the numerator 2.

3 = 3 + b

subtract 3 from itself and from the opposite side of the equal side 3.

0 = b

in the end, there is no b for this equation. Our answer is

y = 2/3x
