What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to −x+3y=9 and passes through the point (−3, 2) ? enter your equation in the box.

We are given that

line is perpendicular to

Firstly, we will solve for y

Add both sides by x

Divide both sides by 3

now, we can compare it with slope -intercept form of line

where m is slope

so, we can find m

now, we are given that line perpendicular

so, we can find slope of perpendicular line

we know that product of two perpendicular lines are always -1

so,

now, we can solve for mp

now, it passes through point (−3, 2)

so,

now, we can use point slope form of line

we can plug values

now, we can solve for y

Add both sides by 2

So, equation of our line is

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
