Question

Maria and Nate graphed lines on a coordinate plane. Maria's line is represented by the equation y = -5/6x +8. Nate's line is perpendicular to Maria's line. Which of the following could be an equation for Nate's line?

a 5x-6y=15
b 5x+6y=15
c 6x-5y=15
d 6x+5y=15

Answer 1

Option C: 6x-5y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -5/6x +8

8 is the y-intercept

-5/6x is the slope

when a slope is in fraction form the numerator is the y direction over the denominator how much the line changes in the x direction
