Answer:

[tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

*Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocals slopes*

First, find the slope-intercept form of 5x + 6y = -54:

5x + 6y = -54

-5x          -5x

6y = -5x - 54

/6         /6

y = [tex]-\frac{5}{6}x[/tex] - 9

y = mx + b

So, the reciprocal slope of m = [tex]-\frac{5}{6}[/tex] is m = [tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex]

Hope this helps!
