Find the equation of the line which passes through the point (4,-2)
and which is perpendicular to the line 3y -2x = -6.

Visualize the problem:

Find two points on the line 3y -2x = -6 and sketch the line.
Also, plot the point (4,-2).
Sketch the line through (4,-2) and perpendicular to 3y -2x = -6.

Show work.

Find two points on the line 3y -2x = -6. Suggestion:
Find the y coordinates corresonding to x = 0 and x = 3.
