The given equation is in the point-slope form. The slope can be obtained by simple identification of the parts of the equation. This is shown below:

Given equation:

(y - 3) = -2 (x - 4)
y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where slope, m = -2

The slope of a line perpendicular to the line CD is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line CD. Therefore:

Slope = 1/2
