Answer:

3

Explanation:

the slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope

a reciprocal is the inverse of a number, to find the reciprocal, just flip the numerator and denominator

in this cause, the slope is -1/3

the negative of it is 1/3 and the reciprocal is 3

therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is 3
