Verifying Perpendicularity in Site Planning

A junior technician is verifying the layout of two perpendicular access paths defined by the equations y=βˆ’5xβˆ’4y = -5x - 4 and xβˆ’5y=5x - 5y = 5. Based on the provided equations, identify the slope of each path and state the specific mathematical rule involving their product that confirms these paths are perpendicular.
