Answer:
The equation is y = (2/3)x + (4/3).
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to change the equation into slope-intecept formula to find its gradient (slope) :
[tex]3x + 2y = 12[/tex]
[tex]2y = - 3x + 12[/tex]
[tex]y = - \frac{3}{2}x + 6[/tex]
Given that when a line is perpendicular to the other line, their slope value multiplied, will form -1. Next, we have to find the slope for line :
[tex]m1 \times m2 = - 1[/tex]
[tex] - \frac{3}{2} \times m2 = - 1[/tex]
[tex]m2 = - 1 \div - \frac{3}{2} [/tex]
[tex]m2 = \frac{2}{3} [/tex]
Lastly, we have to subatitute the x and y values into the equation, to find its intercept value :
[tex]y = \frac{2}{3}x + b[/tex]
[tex]let \: x = 1,y = 2[/tex]
[tex]2 = \frac{2}{3} (1) + b[/tex]
[tex]b = 2 - \frac{2}{3} [/tex]
[tex]b = \frac{4}{3} [/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{4}{3} [/tex]
