Answer:

Explanation:

Property of the perpendicular lines,

If the two lines
L_1 and
L_2 having slopes
m_1 and
m_2 are perpendicular to each other,

Then
m_1* m_2=-1

Equation of line
L_1 → y = 3x + 5 ------(1)

Equation of line
L_2 → 6y + 2x = 1 ------- (2)

Slope of line
L_1,


m_1=3

Slope of line
L_2,

6y + 2x = 1

6y = -2x + 1


y=-(2)/(6)x+(1)/(6)


y=-(1)/(3)x+(1)/(6)

Therefore,
m_2=-(1)/(3)

By using the property of perpendicular lines,


m_1* m_2=3* (-(1)/(3) )


=-1

Therefore, both the lines are perpendicular.
