You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.
Line # 1= 2x-3y=6 [re-write in the slope-intercept form by solving for y]
y=mx+b [slope-intercept form]
-3y=2x+6
y=-2/3-2
m=-2/3
.
Line #2 m=3/2 [the negative reciprocal of line #1.
y=mx+b [plug-in the point (0, 2) and the slope and solve for b]
2=(3/2)(0)+b
2=b
so, line # 1: y=(3/2)x+2
