Answer:

4th option

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] x - 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{\frac{3}{5} }[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] and (a, b ) = (- 2, 5 ) , then

y - 5 = - [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] (x - (- 2) ) , that is

y - 5 = - [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] (x + 2)
