Answer:

B

Explanation:

  • First find the perdendicular slope (flip and change sign) : m= -
    (1)/(4)
  • Then set up your equation using the given ordered paired to find your y-intersept: -1 = -
    (1)/(4) (5) + b
  • Caluclate the product: -1 = -
    (5)/(4) + b
  • Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign : -b - 1 = -
    (5)/(4)
  • Calculate the sum: -b = -
    (1)/(4)
  • Change the sign : b=
    (1)/(4)
  • Use the slope and y-intersept to creat the equation: y = -
    (1)/(4)x +
    (1)/(4)
