Answer:

The slope of line k is - 4 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of given line p is 1/4

Let the slope of line k which is perpendicular to is m.

When the two line are perpendicular to each other, the product of the slopes is always negative 1.

So, the slope of line k is given by

$m=- \frac{1}{\frac{1}{4}}\\\\m = - 4$
