If the line is perpendicular to the line: y = 4/9 x - 2,
then : m = ( - 1 ) : ( 4/9 ) = - 9/4
y = m x + b
3 = - 9/4 * 4 + b
3 = - 9 + b
b = 3 + 9
b = 12
Answer:
The equation is:
y = - 9/4 x + 12

Answer:

The equation is y = [tex]-\frac{9}{4}[/tex] x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is perpendicular to the line: y =[tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex] x - 2,

then : m = ( - 1 ) : ([tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]) = [tex]-\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

y = m x + b

3 = [tex]-\frac{9}{4}[/tex] * 4 + b

3 = - 9 + b

b = 3 + 9

b = 12

Therefore the equation is y = [tex]-\frac{9}{4}[/tex]x + 12
