C
0
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the slope of the given line. The line is given as \(x = -3\), which is a vertical line. Vertical lines have an undefined slope.
Recall that the slope of a vertical line is undefined, meaning it does not have a finite numerical value.
Understand that a line perpendicular to a vertical line must be horizontal.
Know that horizontal lines have a slope of zero.
Therefore, the slope of a line perpendicular to the line \(x = -3\) is \$0$.
