Answer:
- [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] x - [tex]\frac{12}{5}[/tex] ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{\frac{3}{5} }[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
