Find the equation of the line that contains the point P(-2,0)
and is perpendicular to the graph of y=2/3x-3
--------------
The slope of y = (2/3)x-3 is 2/3
The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse, -3/2
------------
Use where (x1,y1) is the point.
y-0 = (-3/2)*(x+2)
y = (-3/2)*(x+2)
