First lets find the slope through (0,5) and (-3,-4)

Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (0, 5) and (-3, -4)



Answer: Slope is




Now to find the perpendicular slope, we simply invert the orginal slope and negate it like this
where is the perpendicular slope


So the perpendicular slope is
