It will have a slope of 914

Explanation:

The question was mentioned as y=−149+11, but I think it should have been y=−149x+11.

As the equation is already in slope intercept form, slope of this line is −149.

A line perpendicular to this will have slope of 914, as product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is −1.

(In case the line is truly y=−149+11, it has zero slope and a line perpendicular to it will be parallel to y axis.
