The line is:

[tex]-3x-4y=1[/tex]

Which is equivalent to:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow4y=-3x-1 \\ \Rightarrow y=-\frac{3x}{4}-\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the slope of the line is equal to -3/4

a) Every line parallel to that one has the same slope, then the answer is -3/4

b) On the other hand, if m_1 and m_2 are the slopes of two perpendicular lines, then:

[tex]m_1\cdot m_2=-1[/tex]

Therefore, since the slope of our line is equal to -3/4, the slope of any line perpendicular to that one is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} m_1\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})=-1 \\ \Rightarrow m_1=\frac{4}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the answer is 4/3
