y= - 9/5x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope- intercept form:

y= mx+b

Given line:

y= 5/9x - 5

Perpendicular line to the given will have a slope of -1/m, which is - 9/5,

so the form of this line is:

y= -9/5x +b

This line passes through point (5, -4), plug in values of x and y, we find the value of b:

-4= -9/5*5 +b -4= - 9 +bb= 9-4b= 5

The required line is:

y= - 9/5x +5
