Answer:

y = 2x - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c, m is the gradient and c is the intercept

The line passes through points 4 and -5, x is 4 and y is -5

-5 = 4m + c

When two lines are perpendicular, the products of their gradients are equal to -1, m1 * m2 = -1

x + 2y = 5

2y = -x + 5

y = (-1/2 * x) + 5

therefore m = -1/2

m1 * m2 = -1

m * -1/2 = -1

-m = -2 , therefore m = 2

-5 = 4 * 2 + c

c = -5 - 8, which is -13

Therefore the equation for the line is

y = 2x - 13
