Question 256274: find the equation of a line that is perpindicular to the line 3x+2y=12 and passes through the point (-1,1) Answer by Greenfinch(383) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Gradient of line is -3/2. The line perpendicular has a gradient +2/3
Gradient a x gradient b = -1
So line is y = 2/3 x + c
If it passes through (-1,1) Then
1 - -2/3 + c
c = 5/3
So line is 3y = 2x + 5
