Answer:

-3/4

Explanation:

Perpendicular slopes are reciprocal opposites of the original slope. This means that the reciprocal of 4/3 is 3/4, and the opposite of 3/4 is -3/4.

To find the perpendicular slope you must take the given slope take the opposite reciprocal (aka switch the sign and flip the fraction)

so...


(-3)/(4)

^^^slope perpendicular to 4/3

Hope this helped!
