Ella Walsh · Answer 1

The slope m = 2/3.

Any perpendicular line to the above will have a slope m = - 3/2.

(or in short the opposite reciprocal. Or in other terms, the product of both slope should be - 1)

Maryjane Lowe · Answer 2

It is going to be the opposite so since our slope is 2/3 it is going to be - 3/2
