    Answer:

    – \frac{1}{5}

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

    y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

    y = 5x – 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

    with slope m = 5

    Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

    m_{perpendicular} = – \frac{1}{m} = – \frac{1}{5}
