Yup, it's -4/3
Note: You indicated "the line", that indicates that there is only one line perpendicular to the given line. There are an infinite number of lines perpendicular to any given line.
Find the equation of the one line perpendicular to the given line at point (0,-7)?

2 traces are perpidicular provided that the made from their slope is comparable to -a million. for this reason the slope of your line is -3/4. => what's the slope of the 2d line in case you be attentive to their product must be -a million? -3/4 * 4/3 = -a million this suggests the slope of your line it somewhat is perpindicular on your first line is 4/3. because of the fact the only situation is being perpinducular to line ( y= -3/4x - 7 ) each and every of the traces with slope 4/3 are the right answer. Your answer is y= 4/3x + q

-1/(3/4) = - 4/3
