Answer:
2nd 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{1}{5}[/tex] x + 4 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = [tex]\frac{1}{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{1}{5} }[/tex] = - 5 , then
y = - 5x + c ← is the partial equation
to find c substitute (5, - 4 ) into the partial equation
- 4 = - 25 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 25 = 21
y = - 5x + 21 ← equation of perpendicular line
