1/4

Explanation:

For the perpendicular slope,

the product of both slopes are -1, this means that if the first slope is m_1, and the second slope is m_2, then m_1⊥m_2 if and only if m_1m_2=-1.

Your first equation, y=-4x+13, so the slope is -4.

To find the perpendicular slope, plug -4 for m_1.

-4m_2=-1

m_2=1/4

Thus, the perpendicular slope is 1/4
