Question

Slope of a line perpendicular to the lime y=3/5x-12/5?

Answer 1

-
`(5)/(3)`

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y =
`(3)/(5)` x -
`(12)/(5)` ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m =
`(3)/(5)`

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

`m_(perpendicular)` = -
`(1)/(m)` = -
`(1)/((3)/(5) )` = -
`(5)/(3)`
