Slope of a line perpendicular to:
5x - 3y = 9
Let's solve for x.
5x − 3y = 9
Step 1: Add 3y to both sides.
5x − 3y + 3y = 9 + 3y
5x = 3y + 9
Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.
5x / 5 = 3y + 9 / 5
Graph: 5x - 3y = 9 =======> y = 5/3x - 3
Answer =======> x = 3/5y + 9/5
SOLVE FOR Y:
5x - 3y = 9
Step 1: Add -5x to both sides.
5x − 3y + −5x = 9 + −5x
−3y = −5x + 9
Step 2: Divide both sides by -3.
-3y / -3 = -5x + 9 / -3
Graph: ======> 5x - 3y = 9 =====> y = 5/3x - 3
Answer ========> y = 5/3x - 3
Hope that helps!!!! : )
