Slope of perpendicular line is $- \frac{12}{7}$ $-12/7$

$y = \frac{7}{12} x - 2$ $y=7/12x-2$ is in slope-intercept form with a slope of $\frac{7}{12}$ $7/12$

If a line has a slope of $m$ $m$ then all lines perpendicular to it will have a slope of $(- \frac{1}{m})$ $(-1/m)$

What is the slope of the line perpendicular to y=712x−2 y=7/12x-2 ?
