Answer :

Two lines are perpendicular if and only if their slopes fulfil:

[tex]m_1m_2=-1[/tex]

All of the equations are given in the form:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Then, the equation

[tex]y=-\frac{5}{3}x-6[/tex]

has slope:

[tex]m_1=-\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

Plugging this in the perpendicular relation we have that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} -\frac{5}{3}m_2=-1 \\ m_2=\frac{-1}{-\frac{5}{3}} \\ m_2=\frac{3}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]

this means that any perpendicular line to the one given has to have slope 3/5.

From the options given we notice that the only line that has this slope is:

[tex]y=\frac{3}{5}x-10[/tex]

Therefore, the perpendicular line is the last option.
