Write the equation of the line that passes through (–2, 1) and is perpendicular to the line 3x – 2y = 5.

y = -

Step-by-step explanation:

The line (l1) passes through (-2, 1) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is;

3x - 2y = 5

Converting this equation to slope intercept form gives;

2y = 3x - 5

y = 1.5x - 2.5

Let the slope of the perpendicular line (l2) be m(PERP).

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1

The slope of our first line (l1) = 1.5

So 1.5 × m(PERP) = -1

m(PERP) = -1 ÷ 1.5 =

Taking another point (x,y) on line (l2);

Cross multiplying this gives;

y = -

which is the equation of our second line (l2).

step-by-step explanation:

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
