The given line has a slope of 3/2 so perpendicular slope would be opposite reciprocal to that or -2/3. B

Answer:

B. -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a equation of line:

   2y-3x=8

   y=\(\dfrac{3}{2}\times x+ 4\)

Hence, slope of this line=3/2

(since, slope of line y=mx+c is m)

Now if two lines are perpendicular with sl,opes m1 and m2 then,

m1×m2=-1

\(\dfrac{3}{2}\times m2=-1\\\\\\m2=\dfrac{-2}{3}\)

Hence, slope of line perpendicular to the l;ine 2y-3x=8 is:

 B. -2/3
