and please explain how you did it

the slope of the line with the equation y=3x+4 is 3 a line that is perpendicular to this will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of 3 remember that 3 is the same as 3/1, the reciprocal of 3/1is 1/3 the opposite reciprocal of this is -1/3 so the slope for the perpendicular line is -1/3 do you have an ordered pair on the line?
