Answer:

y + 4 = -5(x - 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line has a slope of 1/5.  Any new line perpendicular to this given line has a slope which is the negative reciprocal of 1/5:  -5.

Use the point-slope equation of a line:  y - k = m(x - h), where (h, k) is the point through which the new line passes.  Here h = 15 and k = -4, so we have:

y + 4 = -5(x - 15)

This line is perpendicular to the given line and also passes through (15, -4).
