One form of the equation of a straight line is y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c the y-intercept.
the equation here fits this form and by comparison m = 7 4
Consider 2 lines with slopes m 1 and m 2
when they are perpendicular to each other then m 1 × m 2 = - 1
7 4 × m 2 = - 1
m 2 = - 1 7 4 = - 4 7
