Answer:

3x + 2y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

2x - 3y = 6 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 3y = - 2x + 6 ( divide all terms by - 3 )

y = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x - 2 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{\frac{2}{3} }[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] , thus

y = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, - 1) into the partial equation

- 1 = - [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex] + c ⇒ c = - 1 + [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{13}{2}[/tex]

y = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{13}{2}[/tex] ← in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 2

2y = - 3x + 13 ( add 3x to both sides )

3x + 2y = 13 ← in standard form
