What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the graph of the equation 5x-3y=2?

Mathematics

The 2 does not matter in this case because it does not affect the slope. We can simplify this question to get 5x-3y=0. Move the -3y to the right to get

5x=3y.

Divide by 3 to get:

5x/3=y

Therefore, the slope is 5/3. But to find the slope of the line perpendicular to it,  you multiply by -1 and then reciprocate it. So, you get -3/5 as your slope. .

damaskus [11]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need two points to find the slope

( -1,0) and ( 2,3)

We can use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( 3-0)/(2 - -1)

  = (3-0) / ( 2+1)

  = 3/3

  = 1

The slope is 1
