2015/054) What is the equation of a line perpendicular to 5x-6y=30


The slope of the line 5x-6y = 30 say m_1  is \frac{5}{6}
so slope of the line perpendicular to it say m_2 is  \frac{-6}{5} as m_1m_2 = -1

so equation of line
= $6x + 5y = c# where c is a constant

as y intercept = 2 so y = 2 when x = 0
so it is 6x + 5y = 10 is the equation
