To find the original slope of the given line, we need to use the formula:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
From the given coordinates:
(0, 4) and (4, 5)
Change in y = 5 - 4 = 1
Change in x = 4 - 0 = 4
Therefore, the original slope is 1/4.
To find the perpendicular slope, we take the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4/1, and when we take the negative of that, it becomes -4.
Hence, the perpendicular slope is -4.
