Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A line perpendicular to another line has a opposite reciprocal slope.

For example, if a line has a slope of 5, then the perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/5.

First, put the formula into slope intercept form:

3x + 2y = 18

2y = -3x + 18

y = -3/2x + 9

Because this line has a slope of -3/2, the perpendicular line will have a slope of 2/3.
