Question 73791: Please help me. What am I suppose to do?
Write the equation of the line L satisfying the given geometric conditions.
L has y-intercept (0, 2) and is perpendicular to the line with equation 2x-3y=6.

Write the equation of the line L satisfying the given geometric conditions.
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 (opposite signs and upside down), because of that if we multiply them we get -1.
The slope intecept form of a line is , where m=slope and (0,b) is the y-intercept.
If we put the equation they gave you in y-intercept form we can determine its slope.

the slope, m=2/3
The slope of any line perpendicular to this one is: m=-3/2
Our line has a slope of m=-3/2 and a y-intercept of (0,b)=(0,2)
Plugging that into the slope intercept form y=mx+b, gives us:

Happy Calculating!!!!
