    The slope of line B would be - 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Multiply the current slope by its negative inverse (flip the fraction and multiply it by - 1).

    Slope = - 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Perpendicular lines have Opposite Reciprocal Slopes, therefore if Line A has a slope of 1/5, then the opposite reciprocal of that is - 5/1, also equal to - 5
