Answer:

y - 20 = (-1/5)(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is 5.  The slope of any line perpendicular to the given line is the negative reciprocal of the given slope:  

Slope of perpendicular line here is -1/5.

We use the point-slope formula as a framework here:

y - 20 = (-1/5)(x - 5)
