Answer:

see below

Explanation:

This is in slope intercept form

y = mx+ b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

32 is the slope

Parallel lines have the same slope so 32 would be the slope of the parallel line

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

m*32 = -1

m = -1/32

The slope of the perpendicular line is -1/32
