Find the equation of the line through point (−2,−1) and perpendicular to 5x+6y=−6.

Step-by-step explanation:

When lines are perpendicular to each other

multiplying their gradients(m) will equal to - 1

so , m1 × m2 = -1

1st:Find m1

5x+6y= -6

make y the subject,

6y= -5x -6

y= -5/6x - 1

because y = mx + c

m1 = -5/6

2nd:find m2

-5/6 × m2 = -1

m2 = 6/5

3rd: substitute m2 and the coordinates into y=mx+c

y=mx+c

-1= (6/5)(-2)+c

-1 = -12/5 + c

-5 = -12 + c

-5+12= c

c = 7

4th: substitute m2 and c into y= mx+c to find the equation the line

y =6/5x + 7 (Ans)

2nd one in the first row is correct
