perpendicular y= 5/3 x+5

perpendicular

y = \frac{5}{3} x + 5

y = - \frac{3}{5} x + b

Solution steps

Find the slope of

y = \frac{5}{3} x + 5 : m = \frac{5}{3}

Compute the slope of the perpendicular line:

m_{p} = - \frac{3}{5}

Line with slope m=

- \frac{3}{5} : y = - \frac{3}{5} x + b

y = - \frac{3}{5} x + b

What is the perpendicular y= 5/3 x+5 ?
The perpendicular y= 5/3 x+5 is y=-3/5 x+b
