Question 350256: Give the slope of any line perpendicular to the given line.
Y= -4/-3x-8
Slope: -4/-3x
Y-intercept= -8

Y= -4/-3x-8
I think that means
y = (-4/-3)x - 8
The slope m = 4/3, not -4/-3x, just the coefficient.
y-intercept is -8
-------------------
The slope of any line perpendicular is the negative inverse,
m = -3/4
------------
The y-intercept is not relevant.
