The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line is: y = -5/4x - 30.

<h3>What is the Equation of Perpendicular Lines?</h3>

The slope values of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other.

Given that the line is perpendicular to y = 4/5x+23, the slope of y = 4/5x+23 is 4/5. Negative reciprocal of 4/5 is -5/4.

Therefore, the line that is perpendicular to it would have a slope (m) of -5/4.

Plug in m = -5/4 and (x, y) = (-40, 20) into y = mx + b to find b:

20 = -5/4(-40) + b

20 = 50 + b

20 - 50 = b

b = -30

Substitute m = -5/4 and b = -30 into y = mx + b:

y = -5/4x - 30

The equation of the perpendicular line is: y = -5/4x - 30.
