First, identify your slope. The function you presented follows y=mx+b wherein m is the slope, which is - 3 4 .
The slope of the line perpendicular to a given slope is the negative reciprocal of it.
That is, if we have a slope m 1 , and a slope perpendicular to it, m 2 , then, m 1 m 2 = - 1
In your case, 4 3 - 3 4 = - 1 , thus the answer 4 3 .
