Question 516311
2	x		-3	y  	=	6				
Find the slope of this line 										
										
-3	y  	=	-2	x	+	6				
Divide by 	-3									
	y  	=	0.667	x	+	-2				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b										
slope m =	0.67									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal										-1.5
m1*m2=-1										
The slope of the required line will be 										
										
m=	-1 1/2	,point	(	-1	,	-2	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
-2	=	1.50	+	b						
b=	-3.5									
m=	-3/2									
The required equation is		y=-3/ 2	x-7/ 2
