Question 511300
6	x	+	5	y  	=	0				
Find the slope of this line 										
										
5	y  	=	-6	x	+	0				
Divide by 	5									
	y  	=	-1.200	x	+	0				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b										
slope m =	-1.20									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal										0.83
m1*m2=-1										
The slope of the required line will be 	5/6							
										
m=	 5/6	,point	(	-6	,	-1	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
-1	=	-5.00	+	b						
b=	4									
m=	 5/6									
The required equation is		y  	=	  5/ 6	x	+	4
