Answer:y=5x+8

Step-by-step explanation: the perpendicular slope is going to be the negative reciprocal of your given slope. In this case the perpendicular line has a slope of 5, because u flip -1/5 to make -5 and u negate -5 to make 5. This perpendicular slope passes through (-2,-2) and u find the y intercept like this: -2=(5(-2))+b. Therefore the y intercept is 8 and the perpendicular slope is y=5x+8
