write the equation of a line in the form Ax+By=C through the point (-5,-3)and perpendicular to the line y= -(2/3)x+6
:
Determine the slope m2, the relationship of perpendicular lines: m1*m2=-1
Let m1 =
*m2 = -1
m2 = -1*
m2 =
:
Use the point/slope formula
y - (-3) = (x - (-5)
y + 3 = (x +5)
y + 3 = x +
y = x + - 3
y = x + -
y = x +
Get rid of the denominators multiply equation by 2
2y = 3x + 9
arrange in the required format
-3x + 2y = 9
