Since the line that we are looking for is perpendicular to the vertical line passing through (1,4)(-1, 4), the line is a horizontal line with slope m=0m = 0. The equation of a horizontal line is given by y=ky =k. In this case, k=5k = 5 since the line passes through (2,5)(-2 , 5). Therefore, the equation of the line is:

y=ky=5y5=0\begin{equation} \begin{aligned} y & = k \\ y & = 5 \\ y - 5 & = 0 \end{aligned} \end{equation}
