Write 2 equations in slope - intercept form: y = mx + b
The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other. That is, if you have a slope of 2/3, the perpendicular slope will be -3/2.
y = 2/3x + 3
is perpendicular to
y = -3/2x - 9
Only the slope matters in the equations. The y-intercept can be anything. I randomly chose +3 and -9.
