Question 731084: It is a multiple choice question: Which one of the following equations represents a line that is perpendicular to the line with equation
5x - 3y + 4 = 0
The options are:
1. 5x – 3y + 10 = 0
2. 10 + 5y= 3x
3. 5x = – 3y – 10
4. 3x + 5y + 10 = 0
5. 5x – 3y + 10 = 0
I think the slope of the given line is 5/3, so the slope of the perpendicular line will be -3/5, but how do I get to the perpendicular line's equation then?
I think the answer is 4, but not sure at all!
