I can’t see the graph you mean, but the rule is: a line perpendicular to one with slope m has slope −1/m (the negative reciprocal).

So your answer −2 is correct exactly when the shown line has slope 1/2 (because −1/(1/2) = −2). If the shown line’s slope is something else, use the negative reciprocal of that slope. If you want, tell me two points on the graphed line or upload the image and I’ll check.
