Answer:
[tex]y=\frac{3}{2}x-3.5[/tex] or, preferably, [tex]y=\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{7}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First is to find the perpendicular slope. In this case, you swap the numerator and denominator and then multiply that fraction by -1.
In this case, -2/3's inverse slope is 3/2.
Now, the initial y=3/2 passes through 7.5,5
So, you must subtract 3.5 from that to make it pass through 4,5.
In this way, you get the answer in slope-intercept form.
Answer:
y = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{-\frac{2}{3} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] , then
y = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] + c ← partial equation in slope- intercept form
To find c substitute (4, 5) into the partial equation
5 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 6 = - 1
y = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x - 1 ← equation of line
