Hi,

determine the slope of the line perpendicular to the line: 3x-2y=5

*Note:The standard point-slope form for an equation of a line y = mx + b  

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept. 

3x-2y=5  Solving the given line for y to put into the point-slope format

3x -5 = 2y

(3/2)x - (5/2) = y  Slope of this line is (3/2)

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another

(-2/3) is the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line
