--------------------------------------
perpendicular to the line 3y=2x+3.
-------------------------------------

y=2x%2F3%2B1, perpendicular to this, m=-3%2F2



-----------------------------------
Line p passes through point A(1,2)
-----------------------------------

Plug into the point-slope format.
highlight%28y-2=-%283%2F2%29%28x-1%29%29, or do what you need with this.
