Answer:

m = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at how much x and y change as we move from A to B:

x increases by 6, from -3 to 3, and y increases by 8, from 7 to 15.  Thus, the slope, m, is rise / run, or (change in y):  m = 8/6 = 4/3.

Now any line perpendicular to AB has a slope which is the negative reciprocal of this 4/3:  m = -3/4
