Question

Write an equation of the line passing through the point (6, 3) that is perpendicular to the line 6x + 5y = 10 .

Answer 1

when two lines are perpendicular multiplication of their intercept is equal to -1

Answer 2

Answer:

5x-6y-12=0

Step-by-step explanation:

...make y the subject y=-6/5x +2

...use the coefficient of x as the gradient,m=-6/5

...for a perpendicular line,find the negative reciprocal of the gradient,5/6

...sub into the eqn y= -1/m(x-a)+b
