I tried this:

Explanation:

You know that $x=4$ represents a vertical line passing through point $x=4, y=0$ :

we can think that the perpendicular, in the form $y=mx+c$ , must be perfectly horizontal, i.e., have a slope:
$m=0$
giving a line of equation $y=c$ where $c$ will be a real number (for example $y=3$ ):
