Answer: -4/5

Step-by-step explanation: It's important to understand

that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.

"Negative reciprocal" is just a fancy way

of saying flip the fraction and change the sign.

So if we flip the fraction 5/4 we get 4/5 and

if we change the sign we get -4/5.
