Answer:
y = -0.50x -2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the given line:
m = -1/2
The given point can be used with this slope in the point-slope equation for a line:
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
y +5 = -1/2(x -5)
y = -1/2x +5/2 -5
y = -0.50x -2.50
