For this case, we have that by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, it follows that:
[tex]m_ {1} * m_ {2} = - 1[/tex]
If we have the line: [tex]y = - \frac {3} {2} x + 4[/tex]
With slope [tex]m_ {1} = - \frac {3} {2}[/tex]
A line perpendicular to this would have slope:
[tex]m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {- \frac {3} {2}}\\m_ {2} = \frac {2} {3}[/tex]
Thus, the equation of this line is given by:
[tex]y = \frac {2} {3} x + b[/tex]
Substituting the point[tex](x, y) = (3,9)[/tex]we find the cut point "b":
[tex]9 = \frac {2} {3} 3 + b\\9 = 2 + b\\b = 9-2\\b = 7[/tex]
Thus, the equation is:
[tex]y = \frac {2} {3} x + 7\\y- \frac {2} {3} x = 7[/tex]
Multiplying by "3" on both sides of the equation:
[tex]3y-2x = 21[/tex]
Answer:
Option B
Answer:
Choice B is correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes negative reciprocals to each other.
y = mx+c is equation of line where m is slope and c is y-intercept.
Given line is
y = -3/2x+4 where slope is -3/2.
given point is:
(x,y) = (3,9)
We have to find the equation of line which is perpendicular to given line.
hence, slope of line that is perpendicular to y = -3/2x+4 is 2/3.
Equation of perpendicular line is:
y = 2/3x+c
We have to find y-intercept:
putting given point in above equation we have,
9 = 2/3(3)+c
9 = 2 +c
c= 7
hence , put the value of y-intercept in above equation, we have
y = 2/3x+7
y = 2x+21/3
3y = 2x+21
-2x+3y = 21 is equation of line perpendicular to y = -3/2x+4.
