P(3,4) and Q(-3, -4) are two points in a plane. Find the gradient of the line that is normal to the line PQ. 
\(\frac{4}{3}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{-3}{4}\)
\(\frac{-4}{3}\)

Explanation

Gradient = \(\frac{-4 - 4}{-3 - 3}\)

= \(\frac{-8}{6}\)

= \(\frac{4}{3}\)

Normal = -(\(\frac{1}{\frac{1}{4}}\))

= \(\frac{-3}{4}\)
