Answer :

The line is perpendicular to the line:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{5}x-1[/tex]

so the new slope will be the inverse reciproc of the other line so the new slope will be:

[tex]m=-5[/tex]

now we ca unsa the formula of the slope an the coordinate (4, -2) to find the equation:

[tex]m=\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}_{}[/tex]

and we replase m and the coordinate so

[tex]-5=\frac{y-(-2)}{x-4}[/tex]

and we solve for y

[tex]\begin{gathered} y+2=-5x+20 \\ y=-5x+20-2 \\ y=-5x+18 \end{gathered}[/tex]
