Answer:
is perpendicular to
and parallel to
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert the equation to standard form so that y is isolated.
x + 5y = 6 --> x - 6 = -5y (divide both sides by -5) -->
A perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope (meaning you flip the numerator and denominator then make it negative).
is perpendicular to
which simplifies to 5.
A parallel line will have the same slope, but the y-intercept will be different. It can be pretty much any number as long as the original slope is used in the new equation.
is parallel to
just like
