write the equation of the line with x-intercept 6 that is perpendicular to 3x+5y=90

1 answer

perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other

swap the coefficients, and change a sign ... 5x - 3y = 90

the x-intercept is 6 ... x equals 6 when y equals zero
... 5x - 3y = 30
