The answer is

-5/4

this is dude to the slip being perpendicular which means that Line B will be the opposite reciprocal to Line A.

Line A=4/5
Line B=-5/4

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is


m_(perpendicular) = -
(1)/(m) = -
(1)/((4)/(5) ) = -
(5)/(4) ← slope of line B
