Answer:


\displaystyle y=-(5)/(4)x-3

Explanation:

Recall that perpendicular lines form a 90-degree angle, so the slope of the line perpendicular to the given equation will be the opposite reciprocal.

Hence, the equation of the line that will intersect at a 90-degree angle is
\displaystyle y=-(5)/(4)x-3
