Answer:

x = - 4

Explanation:

y =
(1)/(5) is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis

A perpendicular line to it will be a vertical line parallel to the y- axis.

The equation of vertical line is

x = c

where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (- 4, - 3) with x- coordinate - 4, thus

x = - 4 ← equation of perpendicular line
