Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the given equation for y, you have ...

  2x +4y = -64

  4y = -2x -64

  y = -1/2x -16

The coefficient of x is the slope of the given line: -1/2. The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of this:

  -1/(-1/2) = 2

The slope of the perpendicular line is 2.
