-7/4x. This is because to find the line that is perpendicular, you have to find its reciprocal

Answer:

y = -7/4x

Explanation:

This is correct because to find the perpendicular, you need to find the opposite reciprocal of the slope. In this case, the slope is 4/7, so the opposite reciprocal is -7/4.
