Answer: 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the slope of AB. To do that, I will use the equation

y2 - y1/x2 - x1

Plug in the coordinates.

11 - 13/6 - 1

Simplify.

-2/5

<u>Our slope for line AB is -2/5</u>. Now we can find the slope that is perpendicular to it that passes through the point (5, 8).

To do that, just take the slope from AB and make it an opposite value and reciprocal.

Our slope is 5/2.

Answer:

<h2>A) y = π</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The equation of a horizontal line:}\ y=a.\\\\\text{The equation of a vertical  line:}\ x=a\\\\a-any\ real\ number\\\\\text{We have}\ x=-5.\ \text{It's a vertical line.}\ \text{The line that is perpendicular}\\\text{to the vertical line is a horizontal line.}\\\\\text{The line passes through the point}\ (1,\ \pi)\to x=1,\ y=\pi.\\\\\text{Therefore the equation is}\ y=\pi
