The slope of a line perpendicular to a line with slope m is - 1 m . The line we are looking for, therefore, has a slope of 3 5 .
Standard form of a line is:
y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
For another line perpendicular, the slope will be - 1 m . In this case, that is - 1 - 5 3 = 3 5 .
