    Slope is - 3/2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The slope of line that is perpendicular to the line should have a slope that is a negative reciprocal of this slope and multiplying both slopes give us - 1

    => The slope of this line is 2/3

    => The slope of line perpendicular to it would be - 3/2

    Multiplying the two slopes:

    => (2/3) * (-3/2)

    => - 1

    -3/2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    With perpendicular lines, the slope switches to its reciprocal and and positive/negative sign switches, i. e, the 2/3 will switch to 3/2 and since the original is positive, the new slope will be negative
