what line is perpendicular to y=6x-5

Question

whats a perpendicular line to y=6x-5

Answer 1

Given line is y = 6x-5

Compare it standard form of line equation y = mx+b.

Here m is slope and b is intercept of y.

slope of the given line is 6.

we know that the pependcular lines slopes product is must be equal to -1.

So the lines which have slope is -1/6 and various y- intercepts are perpendicular to y = 6x-5.
