To find the slope perpendicular to a given line, take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. In this case, the slope of the given line is ( -\frac{4}{5} ). So, the slope perpendicular to it would be the negative reciprocal, which is ( \frac{5}{4} ). Therefore, the slope perpendicular to the line ( y = -\frac{4}{5}x + 1 ) is ( \frac{5}{4} ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
