Once you become familiar with the standard form equations for lines, you can do this:

Slope perpendicular to the "2x+3y" equation is (-3/2), therefore you want something like "3x-2y".

The y intercept you want is 5%2A0%2B2y=10
y=10%2F2=5
You want like, 2%2A0%2B3y=C, where y =5, meaning 3%2A5=C, C=15.

Your equation found should be highlight%283x-2y=15%29
