Question from Hela, a student:

The equation of the line L is 6x+5y=3, and the equation of line Q is 5x-6y=0, which statement below about the line is true?
A) same y intercept
B)parallel
C) Same x intercept
D)perpendicular

Hi Hela,

Write each equation in the form $y = mx + b.$ In this form $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y intercept.

Can you complete the problem now?
