Question 360456
perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative-reciprocals of each other


since the slope is a ratio related to the x and y coefficients
___ the easiest way to find a perpendicular is to swap the coefficients and change one of the signs


in this case ___ 6x - 5y = ?


the line should go through (3,-4) , so just plug in those values for x and y to find ? (the constant term)


6(3) - 5(-4) = 38


so the new equation is ___ 6x - 5y = 38
