Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes, so the slope of the line we want to find is 1/2. Plugging in the point given into the equation y = 1/2x + b and solving for b, we get b = 6.
2y + 3x = 6.
2y = -3x + 6
y = -3/2x + 3
...slope = -3/2
because perpendicular so slope = 2/3
using y = mx + b passing (6;5) to find b
5 = 2/3(6) + b
5 = 4 + b
5 - 4 = b
1 = b or b = 1
Answer:
Equation: y = 2/3x + 1
2y = -3x + 6
