Answer 1

Answer:

4th option

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = $\frac{3}{5}$ x - 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{3}{5}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{\frac{3}{5} }$ = - $\frac{5}{3}$

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - $\frac{5}{3}$ and (a, b ) = (- 2, 5 ) , then

y - 5 = - $\frac{5}{3}$ (x - (- 2) ) , that is

y - 5 = - $\frac{5}{3}$ (x + 2)
