Answer:

y = -10

Explanations:

Note that:

The equation x = -4 is a vertical line that passes through the point x = -4 and parallel to the y-axis

When a line is vertical, the line perpendicular to it will be horizontal

Since the line is passing through the point (-8, -10)

The line perpendicular to x = -4 will therefore be y = -10 (which is a horizontal line
