Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (6,6) and is perpendicular to -2x + 3y = -6.

Question

Please help to figure out how to write this equation with the given information. 

Answer 1

First, you'll need to find the slope of the line represented by the equation. It's in standard form, so you will want to convert it to slope-intercept form.

Then you need to find the slope m of the perpendicular line. The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.

Then you can use the point-slope form to write the equation using the slope and the point given.
