Question 417650: write an equation of a line that is perpendicular to 2y=3x+5 and has a y- intercept of 6

The given line is the same as y = 3x/2 + 5/2. The slope of this line is 3/2 (and y-intercept 5/2). The slope of the line perpendicular to this is -2/3. The slope of the desired line is then y = -2x/3 + 6, or 3y = -2x + 18.
