SOLUTION: Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Perpendicular to the line 6x

SOLUTION: Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Perpendicular to the line 6x - 5y= 2; y-intercept = -1

Question 724200: Find an equation for the line with the given properties.
Perpendicular to the line 6x - 5y= 2; y-intercept = -1
Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
6x - 5y= 2
-5Y=-6X+2
Y=-6X/-5+2/-5
Y=6X/5-.4 THIS LINE HAS A SLOPE=6/5. RED LINE
A PERPENDICULAR LINE WILL HAVE A SLOPE=-5/6 (THE NEGATIVE RECIPROCAL).
Y=-5X/6-1 THIS LINE HAS A Y INTERCEPT=-1 & A SLOPE=-5/6. GREEN LINE.
