Answer:

3/2

Explanation:

Finding the perpendicular line to a given line is easy. Find the slope (m) in the equation (directly left to the variable, x). Flip the fraction (or set it over 1 if a whole number), and change the sign to the opposite.

In this case, the perpendicular line's slope will be 3/2.
