If you mean: y = 4x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/4
The slope is -0.2
Take the negative reciprocal of the lines slope you want it to be perpendicular to. For example y = 3x +2; perpendicular line slope is -1/3.
Perpendicular slope: -1/4 Perpendicular equation: y-0 = -1/4(x-3) => y = -0.25x+3

Get the slope of the given line, by putting it into slope-intercept form. Then you can divide minus one by this slope, to get the slope of any perpendicular line.
Here are the key steps:* Find the midpoint of the given line. * Find the slope of the given line. * Divide -1 (minus one) by this slope, to get the slope of the perpendicular line. * Write an equation for a line that goes through the given point, and that has the given slope.
If you mean: y = 5x-2 then the perpendicular slope is -1/5
If you mean: y = 4x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/4
The equation has been distorted in the question (as usual on this site). The general idea is to solve the equation for "y"; read off the slope from the resulting equation; then divide minus 1 by this slope to get the slope of the perpendicular line.
The slope is -0.2
There are infinitely many lines perpendicular to this line. All of them have the slope of -4/3, if that fact is of any help to you.
Solve the line equation for "y", to get it in slope-intercept form. You can immediately read the slope from this equation.Divide -1 by (slope of this first line) to get the slope of the second line - the one perpendicular to the given line. Write an equation for any line with this slope.
Take the negative reciprocal of the lines slope you want it to be perpendicular to. For example y = 3x +2; perpendicular line slope is -1/3.
Perpendicular slope: -1/4 Perpendicular equation: y-0 = -1/4(x-3) => y = -0.25x+3
