If the line is perpendicular to the line: y = 4/9 x - 2,
then : m = ( - 1 ) : ( 4/9 ) = - 9/4
y = m x + b
3 = - 9/4 * 4 + b
3 = - 9 + b
b = 3 + 9
b = 12
Answer:
The equation is:
y = - 9/4 x + 12

Answer:

The equation is y = \(-\frac{9}{4}\) x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is perpendicular to the line: y =\(\frac{4}{9}\) x - 2,

then : m = ( - 1 ) : (\(\frac{4}{9}\)) = \(-\frac{9}{4}\)

y = m x + b

3 = \(-\frac{9}{4}\) * 4 + b

3 = - 9 + b

b = 3 + 9

b = 12

Therefore the equation is y = \(-\frac{9}{4}\)x + 12
