Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Perpendicular to y = 2/3 x - 13

Point = (4, -1)

Process

1.- Determine the slope of the original line. The slope is the coefficient of the x.

        y = 2/3 x - 13

        slope = 2/3

2.- Determine the slope of the perpendicular line. The new slope is the reciprocal.

        new slope = -3/2

3.- Find the equation of the new line

         (y + 1) = -3/2(x - 4)

-Simplify

          y + 1 = -3/2x + 6

          y = -3/2x + 6 - 1

4.- Result

          y = -3/2x + 5
