Answer:

y=5/2 . *the question doesn't specify a y-intercept for the perpendicular line so just leave it as if it passes through 0.

Explanation:

First, you isolate y to put the line in slope intercept form. Then, you take the slope and find the reciprocal(-5/2) then flip the sign giving you a slope of 5/2.
