Answer 1

`$-(8)/(3)`

Explanation:

`$$ The equation of line $v$ is in slope intercept form \begin{center}$y=mx+b$\end{center} where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept of the line. From this, we know the slope of line $v$ is $(3)/(8)$. \\The slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other, that is $-(1)/(m)$. So, plug in $(3)/(8)$ for $m$ in this expression to obtain the slope of the perpendicular line:\begin{center}$-(1)/((3)/(8))=-(8)/(3)$\end{center}`

`$$Hence, the slope of the perpendicular line $w$ is $-(8)/(3)$.`

Answer 2

-8/3

Explanation:

slope of y is 3/8

slope of perpendicular line, w is negative reciprocal of the slope of y
