Find the equation of a line drawn perpendicular to the line through the point, where it meets the y-axis.

The equation of the given line is


This equation can also be written as 3x + 2y -12 = 0


which is of the form y = mx + c


Thus, Slope of the given line =


and Slope of line perpendicular to the given line =


Let the given intersects the y – axis at (0,6)


The equation of the line has a slope of and passes through point (0,6) is



=> 3y – 18 = 2x


=> 2x – 3y + 18 = 0


Therefore, the required equation of the line is 2x – 3y + 18 = 0.
