What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (1, 3) and is perpendicular to the line 2x+3y=15? Select a number to correctly complete the equation X = Y =

A) -2/3
B) -3/2
C) 2/3
D) 3/2
E) 7/3
F) 9/2
G) 11/3

X = __3/2__ Y = __3/2__

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 15

3y = -2x + 15

y = (-2/3)x + 5

perpendicular lines have negative reciprocals

y = (3/2)x + b

3 = (3/2)1 + b

b = 3/2

answer: b.

step-by-step explanation:

the y coordinate for point b is 0, and answer b is the only one with that y coordinate.
