Answer:

x = -3

Explanation:

The line y = -1/4 is a horizontal line through -1/4 on the y-axis. A perpendicular line to it is a vertical line through the x-axis. This line would have the equation x= a where a is the x-coordinate of any point on the line. Since the line passes through (-3,2), the line must be x = -3.
