#color(green)("SOLVING THE GIVEN PROBLEM")#
#2x-3y=12# has a slope of #m=2/3#
All lines perpendicular to #2x-3y=12# have a slope of #-3/2#
The equation of a line with slope #(-3/2)# through the point #(2,6)#
in slope-point form is:
#color(white)("XXXXXX")y-6=-3/2(x-2)#
#color(green)("~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~")#
While the above slope-point form would be a valid answer,
we would normally convert this into standard form:
#y-6=-3/2(x-2)#
#color(white)("XXX")rarr 2y-12=-3x+6#
#color(white)("XXX")rarr 3x+2y=18#
