You can put this solution on YOUR website!

which line is perpendicular to the line +y=5x%2F6%2B3 or better this way y=%285%2F6%29x%2B3
as you know, two perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocal of each other
since your line +y=5x%2F6%2B3 has a slope +5%2F6, than we need a line that has a slope +-6%2F5
so, answer is

4)+-%286%2F5%29x%2B11+
see them on a graph
