Answer:
y = -1/5 x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point slope form is expressed as;
y - y0 = m(x-x0)
m is the slope
(x0, y0) is the point on the line
Given the equation y = 5x -1
Slope m = 5
Slope of the line perpendicular to the line will bw M = -1/5
Substitute into the equation
y - 8 = -1/5(x-10)
5(y-8) = -(x-10)
5y - 40 = -x+10
5y = -x+10+40
5y = -x+50
y = -1/5 x + 10
Hence the required equation is y = -1/5 x + 10
