Answer:

4/3 equation however is y = 4/3x + 3 (the plus three can be changed to anything

Explanation:

Lemme just tell you this:

If you are looking for the equation of a completely perpendicular line,

just find the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of the current slope. -3/4x would be 4/3 because it is the opposite in terms of positive or negativeness and the way the numbers are arranged. Change the sign, flip the number, and you are good to go.

4/3
Remember if two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes are -1
