Slope of the perpendicular line is $=-7/2$

Given line is -

$y=2/7x-13$

For the two line to be perpendicular,

$m_1 xx m_2 = -1$

Where -

$m_1$ is slope of the first line.
$m_2$ is the slope of the second line.

Now-

$2/7 xx m_2=-1$
$m_2=-1 xx 7/2=-7/2$
Slope of the perpendicular line is $=-7/2$

What is the slope of the line perpendicular to y=2/7x-13 y=2/7x-13 ?
