L has y-intercept (0, 2) and is perpendicular to the line with equation 2x - 3y = 6.
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, that means they have opposite signs and are upside down. We can find the slopes of equations by putting them in slope intercept form: , where m=slope and (0,b)=y-intercept.
The slope of this line is m=2/3, so the slope of any line perpendicular to this one is: m=-3/2.
The equation of the line with the slope of m=-3/2 and y-intercept (0,b)=(0,2) is:
