Answer:
y = (6/5)x + 29/5
Step-by-step explanation:
To avoid confusion please enclose the fractional exponent inside parentheses: y= -5/6x +3 => y= (-5/6)x +3
The new line is to be perpendicular to the given line (above). The slope of this new line must be the negative reciprocal of (-5/6), which is (6/5).
Usig the slope-intercept formula, we get y = mx + b, or
1 = (6/5)(-4) + b
The LCD here is 5. Multiplying all 3 terms by 5, we get:
5 = 6(-4) + 5b, or
5 = -24 + 5b, or
5b = 29
Then b = 29/5, and the desired equation is:
y = (6/5)x + 29/5
