Question 428641: What is the answer for Perpendicular to 3x -5y=1?

Put the equation in standard form:

A perpendicular line will have a slope which is the negative reciprocal:
m = -(1/(3/5)) = -5/3
So one equation of a perpendicular line would be:
y = (-5/3)x + 1
Note that there are infinitely many perpendicular lines, each with a different y-intercept.
