Answer:

  3x -2y +11 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line perpendicular to ax+by=c through point (h, k) can be written as ...

  b(x -h) -a(y -k) = 0

Simplifying this will put it in general form.

__

You have a=2, b=3, (h, k) = (-1, 4), so your equation is ...

  3(x +1) -2(y -4) = 0 . . . . fill in the values

  3x -2y +11 = 0 . . . . . . . simplify
