As $color(green)(m_2 = -1/ m_1$ , given two lines are perpendicular to each other.

$y = (4/3)x - 2$

Slope-intercept form of equation is $y = mx + c$

Slope of the line $m_1 = 4/3$

Equation of second line is $y = -(3/4)x + 2$

Slope of second line is $m_2 = -(3/4)$

As $m_2 = -1/ m_1$ , given two lines are perpendicular to each other.
