Solution
To draw the graph of 2x - 3y = 6 and `x/(2) + y/(3) = 1` follows the steps:
First prepare a table as below:
| X | -1 | 0 | 1 |
| Y = `(2)/(3) xx 2` | `-(8)/(3)` | -2 | `-(4)/(3)` |
| Y = `-(3)/(2) xx + 3` | `(9)/(2)` | 3 | `(3)/(2)` |
Now sketch the graph as shown:

From the graph it can verify that the lines are perpendicular.
