Question 1172145: I need help on this question:
The equation of a straight line AC is 2y = -3x + 6. Given the points A(-2,6). Find the equation of a straight line that passes through point B and perpendicular to line AC.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2y=-3x%2B6
3x%2B2y=6

Perpendicular to that would be some equation 2x-3y=C and your value C needs to use the required point (-2,6), so,

------
2x-3y=2%28-2%29-3%2A6
highlight%282x%2B3y=-22%29
