Answer:

-6/5

Explanation:

In order to find the slope of a line perpendicular to another, you have to take the negative reciprocal.

This basically means that you multiply the slope by -1 and flip it, switch the numerator and denominator, find the reciprocal, whatever you want to call it. (but reciprocal is the proper term for it)

In this case, after multiplying it by -1, it would be -5/6, and taking the reciprocal would make it -6/5.
