$perpendicular slope is undefined$ $"perpendicular slope is undefined"$

Explanation:

$y = \frac{9}{4} - 7 = - \frac{19}{4}$ $y=9/4-7=-19/4$

$y = - \frac{19}{4}$ $y=-19/4$

$is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis$ $"is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis"$
$passing through all points in the plane with a$ $"passing through all points in the plane with a "$
$y-coordinate equal to - \frac{19}{4}$ $"y-coordinate equal to "-19/4$

$because it is a horizontal line it's slope = 0$ $"because it is a horizontal line it's slope "=0$

$and so a line perpendicular to it is vertical and$ $"and so a line perpendicular to it is vertical and "$
$parallel to the y-axis with slope undefined$ $"parallel to the y-axis with slope undefined"$
