Answer:

  • - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Slopes of perpendicular lines are negative-reciprocals.
  • If m is the slope of one line, the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/m.

Let's find the slope of the given line:

  • x - 4y = -12

Rewrite this in the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

  • x - 4y = -12
  • 4y = x + 12
  • y = 1/4x + 3

The slope is 1/4

The perpendicular line has slope

  • - 1/(1/4) = - 4
