The slopes of lines perpendicular to each other are opposite reciprocals. So, if you are given that the slope of a line is 3 and need to find the slope of a line perpendicular to that line, you'd flip that number around and negate it, leaving you with -1/3.
To find the slope of the given line, first get it into slope-intercept form (y - mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept).
3y = -4x + 2
y = -4/3x + 2/3
The slope is -4/3. To find the slope of a perpendicular line, find its opposite reciprocal. It is 3/4.
Answer:
3/4 (the first option)

J = 88846
S = 74897
J = 4.6m + S
Plug in what you know.
88846 = 4.6m + 74897
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression of interest is the difference of the two given expressions.
(-4x +6y) -(-2x -7y) = (9) -(-8)
-2x +13y = 17
The value is 17.

<em>Additional comment</em>
You could go to the trouble to solve the two equations for x and y, then compute the value of the expression you want. As we saw above, that is not necessary.
The first step in problem solving is always "look at the given information and how it relates to what you are asked." A little time spent doing that can save a lot of effort in the actual problem solving process.
