When the equation is in this form ( where the coefficient of y is 1 ),
we can pick off the slope of the line as the coefficient of x .
Here, the coefficient of x is \(\frac32\) so
slope of line m = \(\frac32\)
And...
slope of line perpendicular to m = the negative reciprocal of \(\frac32\)
slope of line perpendicular to m = \(-\frac23\)
The equations that have \(-\frac23\) (or something equaivalent to \(-\frac23\) ) as the coefficient of x represent lines perpendicular to m
