Answer:

I am confused on what means fully simplify your answer, i am doing it how i usually do

Slope is 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

For slope of st.line with equation 4x+5y=35

Slope(m1)

[tex]=\frac{-x}{y}\\=\frac{-4}{5}[/tex]

Let the slope of required st.line be m2

Since the lines are perpendicular to each other.

[tex]m_{1}m_{2}=-1\\or, \frac{-4}{5}m_{2} = -1\\or, m_{2}=\frac{-1* 5}{-4}\\m_{2}=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, the required slope is 5/4
