10x-6y= -11
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of this line
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "-6y=-10 x-11
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by -6
\n" ); document.write( " y = 5/ 3 x + 11/6
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m =5/3
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal -3/5 m1*m2=-1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "m= - 3/5 ,point ( -5 , -8 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "-8 = 3.00 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= -11
\n" ); document.write( "m= - 3/5
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y =- ( 3/ 5)x-11
