The given equation, 3x%2B2y=3x-7
is+2y=-7
highlight_green%28y=-7%2F2%29, and the slope is 0, a horizontal line.

The lines perpendicular to y=-7%2F2 have no slope. They are vertical.
The point (3,-2) will be on the line highlight%28x=3%29, which is perpendicular to the given y=-7%2F2.

You could arrange the equation of the line found as highlight%280=x-3%29 and this has no restriction for y.
