    The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the normal slope. For example, 3/7 would become - 7/3.

    Because the slope of this line is 1/5, the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it is - 5.

    Now, to find the equation of the line, we need to find the y intercept. Since the line passes through (0,0), that is the y intercept. Now, we can make the equation of the line.

    y = - 5x
