Question

Which equation represents the line that passes through the point (1, 5) and is perpendicular to 3x − 2y = 4?

Answer 1

Answer:

the eq of line perpendicular to ax+by+c=0 is bx- ay+c=0

therefore the eq is -2x-3y+c=0

this Line passes through (1,5)

sub in above equation

-2(1)-3(5)+c=0

c=17

therefore the equation is -2x-3y+17=0

2X+3y-17=0
