Answer:

[tex]\frac{7}4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the slope, which is defined as the change in y over the change in x:

[tex]\frac{-5-(-1)}{3-(-4)} = \frac{-4}{7}[/tex]

To find a slope that's perpendicular to that, we just take the negative reciprocal of that slope, which is [tex]\frac{7}4[/tex].

I hope this helped.
