The slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative inverse of the slope of your line. Because your line's slope is 2%2F3, that means the perpendicular line's slope is -expr%283%2F2%29. Using substitution into the formula y=mx+b, where b is the y-intercept, your equation becomes y=-expr%283%2F2%29x%2B3.
