Question

What is the slope of the line perpendicular to `y=-5/3x+6`?

Answer 1

`m=3/5`

Explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. This means, to find the slope of a perpendicular line, when given slope form is to find the slope (in this case `m=-5/3`) and flip it with the opposite sign. So:

`-5/3` `-> 3/5`
