Find the slope of a line perpendicular to the line 3x – 2y = 5.​

Sagot :

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

to the the slope of the perpendicular line we must first find the slope of line given in the problem. To do this we must transform this equation into the slope intercept format

The slope intercept form of a liner equation is:

Y = mx + b

Where m is slope and b is the y - intercept value.

solving the equation in the problem for y produces :

3x - 3x + 2y = -3x - 5

0 + 2y = 3x - 5

2y = - 3x - 5

2y = -3x - 5

2 2

y = - 3 x - 5

2. 2

Therefore the slope of this line is m = - 3

2

the slope of perpendicular line is the negative inverse of the slope of the line we are given,or

- 1

m

so for our problem the slope of a perpendicular line is - - 2 = 2

3. 3
The slope of this equation is 3/2 once you rearrange it into slope intercept form: y=3/2x-5/2

The slope of a line perpendicular to this equation is just opposite sign-reciprocal of the Original slope: 3/2

Change the sign to -3/2 and flip it to get -2/3

The answer is -2/3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to the equation 3x - 2y = 5
