Which line is perpendicular to a line that has a slope of -5/6? a - line jk b - line lm c - line no d - line pq

B

Step-by-step explanation:

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

= -

Given m = - , then

= - =

Since m > 0 then lines LM and No are the 2 possible lines

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = L(- 5, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = M(0, 3)

m = =

Hence the required line is LM

a is the correct
