Need to Know:
the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is where m is the slope and b the y-intercept,

line perpendicular to y= (2/3)x , m = (2/3) Green Line
passing through (6,6)
m = (-3/2) Negative reciprocal of 2/3
y - 6 = (-3/2)(x - 6) ***Using point-slope form,
y = (-3/2)x + 15 Blue Line
