If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is equal to the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line. Given a value, a/b, the negative reciprocal of a/b is - b/a.

From the information given, the slope of the red line is 2/5. This means that the slope of the green line which is perpendicular to the red line is - 5/2

Option D is correct
