What's The equation for the line in slope intercept form that is perpendicular to 2y+7= -3x+4 and passes through the point (-6,2)
----------
Given equation::
y = (-3/2)x -3/2
slope = -3/2
-----
Your Equation:
slope = 2/3
Form:: y = mx + b
Solve for "b"::
2 = (2/3)*-6 + b
b = 6
-----
Equation:
y = (2/3)x + 6
