Answer:

  B.  -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We're going to assume that you don't mean

  y = 45x -3

which has a perpendicular line with a slope of -1/45.

Rather, we're going to assume that you mean

  y = 4/5x -3

so that the slope of the perpendicular line is -5/4.

__

Similarly, we're going to assume that the answer choices are supposed to represent fractions, so that the above slope matches choice B.

_____

If the slope of a line is m, the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/m. The reciprocal of a fraction is the fraction that has numerator and denominator swapped. -1/(4/5) = -5/4.
