Write the equation of the line perpendicular to the line given by 3x – 2y=9 and having the same y intercepts as the line given by 2x + 5y = 0
---------
1st equation:
y = (3/2)x - (9/2)
slope = 3/2
------------------
2nd equation:
y = (-2/5)y + 9/5
intercept = 9/5
-------------------------
Ans: Equation:
y = (-2/3)x + (9/5)
