Answer:

[tex] \frac{3}{2} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the given line is in the slope- intercept form, its gradient can be seen from the coefficient of x, which is -2/3.

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

Let the slope of the line be m.

[tex]m( - \frac{2}{3} ) = - 1[/tex]

[tex] m = - 1 \div ( - \frac{2}{3} )[/tex]

[tex]m = - 1 \times ( - \frac{3}{2} )[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{3}{2} [/tex]

Thus the slope of the line is 3/2.
