----------------
Find the slope of the given line: m1 = 2/5
The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse, = -5/2
----------
y = (-5/2)x + k is a line perpendicular.
k can be any number.

Convert to slope-intercept form,
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals,
The perpendicular line has the equation,
You are free to to choose any value for .
