Correct Answer: $3x-2y=-6$
Solution : The equation of the given line is $2x+3y=–6$ The y-intercept is $3$. According to the question, A line with slope $m$ is represented as $y=mx+c$ Given line, $2x+3y=–6$ ⇒ $y=-\frac{2}{3}x-2$ Slope of the line $=–\frac{2}{3}$ The product of the slope of two perpendicular lines is $–1$. So, the slope of the required line is $=(–\frac{1}{–\frac{2}{3}}) = \frac{3}{2}$ The equation of the line is $y=\frac{3}{2}x+c$ Given y-intercept ($c$) $=3$, Now, $ y=\frac{3}{2}x + 3$ ⇒ $2y=3x+6$ Therefore, the equation of the required line is $3x-2y=-6$ Hence, the correct answer is $3x-2y=-6$.
