Since the given equation is a simple linear equation, it's not difficult to find the slope perpendicular to the given equation.
Now, we know that the product of the value of the slopes of 2 perpendicular lines is equal to negative of unity, that is
m 1 m 2 = - 1
The above equation should first be made into a general slope equation first, so it becomes
2 ( x + 3 2 ) = 4 y y = 1 2 ( x + 3 2 )
So the slope of the above given equation is taken as m 1 = 1 2
Now, substituting this in the given equation, we get m 2 1 2 = - 1 m 2 = - 2
