You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Find the equation, in standard form, with all interger coefficients, of the line perpendicular to 3x - 6y = 9
-----------------
The given equation has slope m = 3/6 = 1/2
All perpendicular lines must have slope -2
----------------------
There are an infinite number of lines that are perpendicular
to the given line. One such is y = -2x
-----------------
In standard form that would be 2x+y+0 = 0
