First let's find the slope through the points (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

If you're given a slope of , you can find the perpendicular slope by negating and inverting the given slope.

In other words, use this formula to find the perpendicular slope:
where m is the given slope and is the perpendicular slope

plug in (note: remember really looks like )

Flip the second fraction and multiply

Multiply

Answer:

So the perpendicular slope is
