Question 558794
1	y  	=	-5    	x		-8				
Divide by 	1									
	y  	=	-5      	x	+	-8    				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b										
slope m =	-5    									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal										1/5
m1*m2=-1										
										
										
m=	 1/5	,point	(0,4)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
4	=	0.00	+	b						
b=	4									
m=	 1/5									
The required equation is y =( 1/ 5)x+4
