Answer:
y = 2x/3 + 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the slope of the given line.
y = mx + b
6x + 7y = 3y -3
4y = -6x - 3
y = (-6x-3)/4 = -3x/2 - 3/4
The slope of y = -3/2
The slope of a line perpendicular to the line of 6x + 7y = 3y -3 would be the negative reciprocal of the slope so the slope of the line perpendicular would be -1/(-3/2) = 2/3
The equation would be:
y = 2x/3 + b
Since b is unknown, but a point is known, we plug in x and y values.
-8 = 2*(-13)/3 + b
Then solve for b:
b = 2/3
