Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes

the line y = 2 is a horizontal line, which means the slope is zero

also, y = 2 intersects the y-axis at 2

a line perpendicular to a horizontal line is a vertical line and, if it passes through the point (4,5) will intersect the x-axis at 4

therefore, the equation would be x = 4
