Hi Revin. I answered another question of yours that is basically the same. Remember, the slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite sign and inverse. You can do it!

The inverse of 2 is 1/2. The inverse of 1/3 is 3.
The opposite of a positive number is a negative number, and, vice versa.

What is the slope of this equation?
y=4/5x-7
change the sign and flip it to get the slope of the perpendicular line.
