equation of perpendicular line

Answer:

see explanation

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 )

Given

2x - 3y + 9 = 0 ( subtract 2x + 9 from both sides )

- 3y = - 2x - 9 ( divide terms by - 3 )

y = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x + 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

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

[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{\frac{2}{3} }[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Since the equation passes through the origin then y- intercept is zero , that is c = 0

y = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x ← equation of perpendicular line
