The equation of the line perpendicular to \(2 x-3 y+5=0\) and making an intercept 3 with positive Y-axis is

  1. A \(3 x+2 y-6=0\)
  2. B \(3 x+2 y+6=0\)
  3. C \(3 x+2 y-7=0\)
  4. D \(3 x+2 y-12=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3 x+2 y-6=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the line be \(3 x+2 y+\lambda=0\)
Putting \(x=0, y=\frac{-\lambda}{2}=3\) [given]
\(\Rightarrow \lambda=-6\)
Hence the required line is \(3 x+2 y-6=0\)
