Question

Please help explanation if possible

Answer 1

Answer:

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = $\frac{2}{3}$ x + $\frac{2}{3}$ ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{2}{3}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{\frac{2}{3} }$ = - $\frac{3}{2}$ , then

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 2, 4) into the partial equation

4 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 3 = 1

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 1 ← equation of line
