6
x−7?
Answer
Multiple Choice Answers
6, x, minus, 5, y, equals, 306x−5y=30
6, y, minus, 5, x, equals, 186y−5x=18
6, x, plus, 5, y, equals, 206x+5y=20
5, x, plus, 6, y, equals, 425x+6y=42
The line perpendicular to y = -6/5x - 7 can be found by changing the slope to its negative reciprocal, which would be 5/6.
Therefore, the equation of the line perpendicular to y = -6/5x - 7 is 6y - 5x = 18.
The correct answer is 6, y, minus, 5, x, equals, 186y − 5x = 18.
