You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The line +x+=+4+ is a vertical line through ( 4,0 )
For every +y+ value on this line, is is still true
that +x+=+4+
----------------
Any line perpendicular to this line will
be a horizontal line with the equation +y+=+k+
You are given the point ( 2,5 ) that this line passes
through, so +k+=+5+, and the equation
of this perpendicular line is +y+=+5+
