What is an equation of a line?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

Let m be the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept of the line.

The equation of the line is given as,

y = mx + c

The product of the slopes of the perpendicular lines is equal to -1.

y = 3x – 2

m = 3

Then the slope of the perpendicular line will be -1 / 3. The equation of the line will be written as below:-

y = (-1 / 3)x + c

The line is passing through the point  (–2, 3). Then calculate the value of the constant.

3 = (-1 / 3 )2 + c

c = 11 / 3

The equation of the line will be:-

y = (-1/3)x + (11/ 3)

Therefore,  the equation of the line will be y = (1/3)x + ( 11 / 3 ). The correct option is B.
