If the two lines are perpendicular then line B must have slope . You are already given point (0,5) on line B.

You know what to do. Use the form y=mx+b and fill in the parts.

Hi
Question States:
 lineD:   y = (3/5)x - 9    |  m = 3/5
 LineB has a y-intercept of 5
 lineB:   y = (-5/3)x + 5    |Line B is perpendicular to Line D 
the equation of line B in slope-intercept form:   y = (-5/3)x + 5
