Answer:
m = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
First write the line in slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
x-y = 6
subtract x from each side
-y = -x+6
Multiply each side by -1
y = x-6
The slope is 1
Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1
m * 1 = -1
m = -1
The slope of the perpendicular line is -1

I hope this helps - it depends what you doing for it to be negative or nonnegative.. :)
So to find the answer you need to use SOHCAHTOA
Sine= Opposite/ Adjacent
Cosine= Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Tan = opposite/adjacent
angle ADC is 60 so to find the length of line ABC we would use the angle and the line DC.
We would use Tan with opposite over adjacent
Tan 60 = opp. / 5 root 3
opp. = 15
so that is the length of the entire thing, all you need to do now is find the length of the single line of BC which we can use the same equation with just Tan 30 now.
Tan 30 = opp. / 5 root 3
opp. = 5
next you need to take the entire ABC length and subtract the length of BC to get AB
15-5 = 10
so the answer would be C
