Answer:
y = (-1/5)x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of this perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line y = 5x + 4: -1/5.
Applying the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, we get:
2 = (-1/5)(-5) + b, or:
2 = 1 + b
Therefore, b = 1 and the desired equation is:
y = (-1/5)x + 1
