SOLUTION: A line passing through (2, -4) and (-4, y) is perpendicular to a line with slope 3/2. What is the value of y?

Question 178465: A line passing through (2, -4) and (-4, y) is perpendicular to a line with slope 3/2. What is the value of y?
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given 1 point and the slope of a line I can
find the equation of that line
(2,-4) is a point on the line
If is the slope, is
perpendicular to the line with that slope

The general slope-intersect form of a line is

So far I have

To determine I use the given point

The equation of the line is

To find the in (-4,y),
