You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Once you become familiar with the standard form equations for lines, you can do this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Slope perpendicular to the \"2x+3y\" equation is (-3/2), therefore you want something like \"3x-2y\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The y intercept you want is $\"5%2A0%2B2y=10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=10%2F2=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You want like, $\"2%2A0%2B3y=C\"$ , where y =5, meaning $\"3%2A5=C\"$ , $\"C=15\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your equation found should be $\"highlight%283x-2y=15%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
