Question 552787
10	x		-6	y  	=	-11				
Find the slope of this line 														
-6	y  	=	-10    	x		-11				
Divide by 	-6									
	y  	=	1  2/ 3	x	+	1 5/6				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b										
slope m =	5/3									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal										-3/5
m1*m2=-1										
										
										
m=	- 3/5	,point	(	-5	,	-8	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
-8	=	3.00	+	b						
b=	-11									
m=	- 3/5									
The required equation is		y  	=	-  3/ 5	x		-11
